Billions spent on Aids in Africa, wasted??

[schmalts]

Question, do you think we should be spending it on other things like an unpreventable disease such as childhood cancer or MS or even things like hydrogen fuel research? Many seem to forget we are spending billions on a disease that is 100% preventable.
Kind of a controversial subject, or is it?

You're welcome!

The issue with it being "preventable" is the kids born with it. Nothing they can do to prevent it.

 

[Washington Hunter]

We should be spending ZERO in Africa. It is not our problem. Our money should be spent taking care of our people. What bullshit.

 

[schmalts]

Yes it is preventable 100%. If the slob parents were responsible enough not to get it, they would have not passed it to a fetus. No matter how you cut it, it could always, 100% of the time been preventable. If a nurse gets it from getting poked with a needle, you can say they should taken better precautions. If a patient gets it from dirty instruments, you can say the cleaning should have been done better. No matter how you cut it, it is preventable and the VAST majority of cases is from piss poor ethics. It sucks when someone gets it from a reason other than being unethical but those cases are very few in the big picture. We are spending a shit load of money to postpone the inevitable fate of millions of people who largely refuse to take the steps from stopping it. If they just stopped having unprotected (or all) sex for god sake. Stop the rapes, stop the needle sharing (other countries), start living a life that would limit risk. If they did all those things I would have More pity for them, but only they can start the eradication of the disease.

Again, the kids being born with it are without choice in the matter. Kids don't choose their parents lifestyle.

We're probably "wasting" tons of cash in this and other programs. Should we watch how much we spend for other countries? You bet! Take care of our own? Of course. But we are without a doubt the richest country in the world, and our poor people would be considered wealthy in many countries. I don't have a problem trying to be charitable, within reason.

Maybe our aid for aids should be limited to free rubbers for the adults, but have a little compassion for the kids.

 

[Washington Hunter]

If we're so rich why is our federal government in so much debt that we'll likely never get out of the hole?

 

[ELKCHSR]

An easy solution to get this country back on track would be to declare bankruptcy and dump all this propped up debt...

Without choice yes, un-preventable, no. We are spending money on the something that cannot be bought, ethics. I feel for the kids but creating dependency is wrong as well. Pampering those living in that country will not make them more ethical.
