Imagine a person who is discovered to be immune to all forms Cancer, TB, Viruses, Bacteria etc. You could say he has a super immune system. He went through life unnoticed and became his own person. He is very anti-social. He would never willingly give information or other things to any organization. But this person is real. The government knows that by getting his blood they would be able to cure all people of disease. Would the government be able to force this person to submit his blood or body to research?
Reply:Do you want a theoretical Answer- or a Realistic one?? Theoretically- no. Realistically- the Government would NOT take %26quot;No%26quot; for an answer. If it WANTS something from you- you%26#039;d better be REALLY good at hiding. (Some people ARE though... -take Bin Laden, for example. Our Govenment%26#039;s been looking for HIM for YEARS- thinking he%26#039;s the %26quot;cure%26quot; for what %26quot;ails%26quot; it. :) ).
Reply:Naw, said person would just be taxed or become property of the state.
Reply:In order for the government to know about this %26quot;fictitious%26quot; person, someone would have had to already have taken a sample. This sample, and not the person, could be used for research and development. Wouldn%26#039;t that be wonderful. You must have watched or heard this story on that law program on TV the other night with William Shatner. It was an interesting show and does get you to think.
