WHAT? I don't love Bush, and think all politicians are scum, in general, but I think you're cracked. I'm pretty sure he banned it based on ethical grounds: he didn't want ANY stem cell source that wasn't adult, to rule out abortions as a potential source.

As to the business end, you think this guy's treatments were cheap? There is money to be made in all types of medicines.

If you happen to fall into the following category

even though you are likely a decent person, albeit very confused, your behaviour is irresponsible. "Please" do not ask/force me to pay for your chemo....

Completely agree, although I would like to point out that this is not limited to gay men in its scope. In the UK the majority of new HIV infections are amongst heterosexual people nowadays, but the risk exists for anybody practicing unsafe sex. Knowingly giving HIV to somebody is classed as attempted murder in large parts of the world's justics systems.

This is a tiny infinitely small clique (gay or straight) and I have never encountered it personally, I have merely read about it in the media, and usually in the context that it originated in America. Whilst it's a terrifying thing for many reasons, the pyschology and group behaviour behind it is intensely fascinating.
