Reply #268: Hypothetically speaking of course... [View All]

[Duncan Grant]

if a person with HIV (who had political power) voted to quarantine or deny the right to work to people with HIV, I would not object to outing him/her as a person with HIV (based solely on their abuse of power...outing should not be used as a precident to oppress or exploit private citizens). I would not want anyone to live in quarantine or be denied the to right to work.

(Let's remember that we're talking about a hypothetical situation as a means to further an examination of larger issues...)

Personally, that is a very frightening scenario you posit.
