A final solution for AIDS?

I've read over the net that the only possible way to erradicate AIDS is by killing all the infected ones. They said that the people who carry the disease will die anyway. There's an estimated 38.6 million people now living with the disease worldwide .

I think medicine will advance enough to find a cure someday and these measures won't have to be taken.

What's your position on it?

    There is no any ground for such action to be justified. Besides, do you think it will be the final solution to get rid of AIDS? I will answer your question mostly with another questions.

    Think about it: since when the AIDS existed and how it started? It started just on the 80's with virus originating from a monkey as the theories says. Now if all infected with AIDS will be killed, will it be safe to say that the history won't be repeated? The monkeys as the source of the virus still exist and it is very possible that the same virus can be produced in due time. Then will mass killing of AIDS infected population give enough lesson to mankind to be chaste or being modest in sex behavior? So if the cycle will be repeated then what will done next? Maybe monkeys should also be eliminated and put into definite extinction. It is just time for any human to get into realization of the real purpose of sex - that is the foremost factor which will make a great change in such crisis.

    Aside from being moral wrong, this isn't even feasable. There is no way you can know all the people who are HIV+ right at this moment. Some person is getting infected as you read this. By the time you got done killing everyone in one county, then moved on to the next, it would be back in the county you'd just murdered through. I suppose you could say, "will everyone please go get tested today, and we'll shoot all the postive ones?" But somehow I think some people might not go.

    BTW- we're all going to die anyways. Lets try to find some real ways to deal with this, and leave the preposterous stuff to the movies. You should really read better websites

    I think mass murder is unnecessary and ineffective not to mention illegal and immoral. Would they force every person to be tested repeatedly until the disease is eliminated from the earth? That would be rather expensive and a major invasion of privacy. We should continue the three pronged attack of prevention, treatment and the search for a cure.

    My position is that is exactly the way Hitler would have handled it.

    It is important to our species to eradicate this disease but a "final solution" in not the answer to this or any other disease. I think we are well on our way to meeting that challenge..

    No one has the right to kill another. We have to wait till the medicines are discovered.anyway prevention is better than cure.

    There have already been cases of AIDS being cured by natural means.
