If a Cure for AIDS was Invented...

[Da_Latios]

This topic would've been fun/interesting you have called it "If a cure for STD/STI's was invented..." :twss:

 

Since STD/STI can cover a larger range of things, I decided to use AIDS(acquired immune deficiency syndrome) here to be more specific.

 

So... If a cure for AIDS was invented, how would it affect the world?

[Theoknight2]

obviously less deaths from it, but I doubt much else, people still need to watch out for other STD's, but now we would have a new "OMG" disease.

[Zierro]

The prostitution business would thrive so much it would overcome oil monopolies.

[Ouchy]

The population on the Earth was rapidly increase, and more people would start to have sex.

I love my mental image for that.

 

 

 

"Dammit Bill,I said sell on oil,and double my buy on women.Yes,I want at least 3 to be my sex slaves,and 15 to star in my viking porn films"

[Nadril]

Viking porn films would triple in production. Mainly because Vikings are way too manly to wrap their tool.

I'd go to Thailand and buy some hookers for 25 cents a dozen.

Man, that expensive.

[J a m e s]

AIDS isn't the only STD, you know. :lol:

Except about half of them will be dudes.

AIDS is spread because there are too many people in this world. If we found a cure, a new decease would come up. Sadly... :(

You win some you loose some.

But it's one of the most publicized, and harmful.

They've actually come close now.

 

Berlin (AP) - An American man who suffered from AIDS appears to have been cured of the disease 20 months after receiving a targeted bone marrow transplant normally used to fight leukemia, his doctors said.

 

Dr. Gero Huetter said Wednesday his 42-year-old patient, an American living in Berlin who was not identified, had been infected with the AIDS virus for more than a decade. But 20 months after undergoing a transplant of genetically selected bone marrow, he no longer shows signs of carrying the virus.

 

As Huetter - who is a hematologist, not an HIV specialist - prepared to treat the patient's leukemia with a bone marrow transplant, he recalled that some people carry a genetic mutation that seems to make them resistant to HIV infection. If this mutation, called Delta 32, is inherited from both parents, it prevents HIV from attaching itself to cells by blocking CCR5, a receptor that acts as a kind of gateway.

 

Roughly one in 1,000 Europeans and Americans have inherited the mutation from both parents...Out of a pool of 80 suitable donors, the 61st tested carried the proper mutation.

 

 

 

This isn't the first time bone marrows has done something to the AIDS virus, perhaps we're getting on to something. :pray:

 

Although personally, I don't want a cure to be invented.

Please explain so this doesn't seem so disgusting. Are you joking?

It's an effective way of keeping the population in check. Without AIDS, population would boom. Can you imagine more people in this planet with the food crisis we're already having?

Good point. Soon enough we're going to have to resort to eugenix. The idea of us populating another planet seems so far-fetched.

[Ginger_Warrior]

There's plenty food in the world. It's just we in the developed world overconsume.

Wow, you're insane.

 

 

 

Even with more population, people just adapt and scientists find new ingenious ways to produce food, or introduce food rations(no more obese)! That's the best way to do it. Wishing people dead because you're afraid for yourself is cheap and cowardly. Look at japan, there are more than 128 million people on that little island, do they kill each other for space and food? No, they found all sorts of clever ways to economise space and cultivate/import food, and their culture and economy is thriving, with some of the lowest criminality rates in the world. And at the rate technology is going, in a few dozen years, underwater cities, floating cities or north/south-pole heated cities, space cities, or w/e, will all be possible.

 

 

 

Besides, adequate punishment for your cowardise is that you die from aids yourself. We'll see if you enjoy being collateral damage. -.-

[WutangFlu]

Lets hope AIDs isnt like the flu and will evolve in no-time to counter-act any treatments.

 

Cuz that would SUCK after years of research.

The cause of that is capitalism not over population.

 

 

 

Seriously, if we're at the point where we don't want millions of lives to be saved because we might actually have to stop consuming so many resources, you know we've gone too far.

Christ, if there was one post that really deserve the rolling eyes smiley, it's this one.

[BlueLancer]

Heh, call me crazy, but I'm male and think prostitution especially in poorer countries is dehumanizing and sick. I'd never buy a hooker in a country to which your plane ticket alone costs more than what the woman earns in 6 months.

 

 

 

I refuse to cheapen a person who is somebody's sister, family member, maybe struggling in poverty, just for your own piggish needs. Sorry. And no, I'm not a feminist.

 

 

 

If anything, I'd be happy to go to a dirty rat-filled jail in Thailand for assaulting some balding 40-year old fat western guy buying sex from a kid aged 10-14. Words alone can't describe how disgusting that is..

Why exactly?

 

 

 

If you're going to say I'm wrong, at least say WHY. You can't get by in a debate just by *rolling your eyes*.
