See: Public health. The federal government, and even 'world government' have been wildly successful in this area. As a result, the quality of human life has dramatically improved.
- stretchwithme 16y agothere are different ways of pursuing public health. and just saying public health efforts were successful is not the same as proving that coercion improves health more than cooperation and at a reasonable cost I can restrict everyone to their homes and stop all disease transmission. yeeaa, we found the correct approach. not
- philwelch 16y agoRequiring whores to register and be checked for STD's is not the moral equivalent of quarantining people in their homes. It's more similar to product safety regulations or building codes.
- stretchwithme 16y agoI didn't say they were equivalent. I am just saying that there are many considerations and the individual rights cannot be sacrificed just to achieve some health goal.
- rjurney 16y agoIndividual rights aren't relevant. This is a public health issue that doesn't infringe on anyone's rights outside of some Libertarian wet dream. We license restaurants based on health inspections, does that infringe on your right to serve or eat filthy shit? I think not ;)
- stretchwithme 16y agothen you won't mind if the government makes you get tested periodically. its for the safety of others, so your rights are irrelevant
- rjurney 16y agoWhen I start selling my ass, you're right. I will not mind.
