Microchips For The "Sexually Aggressive"
This is depressing:
Lawmakers in Indonesia's remote province of Papua have thrown their support behind a controversial bill requiring some HIV/AIDS patients to be implanted with microchips -- part of extreme efforts to monitor the disease.
Health workers and rights activists sharply criticized the plan Monday. But legislator John Manangsang said by implanting small computer chips beneath the skin of ''sexually aggressive'' patients, authorities would be in a better position to identify, track and ultimately punish those who deliberately infect others with up to six months in jail or a $5,000 fine.
What on earth does "sexually aggressive" mean? It means "actively seeking sexual intercourse." As opposed to just stumbling upon it? The premise is that people with HIV should cease having sex. Elizabeth Pisani, who made a good faith attempt to convert me to heterosexuality at Oxford, has more.
