What’s the big deal. He should not be allowed any ART and let to die from AIDS. But that not what will happen. He will get the best ART for free while those women will have to pay for theirs if they can afford it and still have to deal with all life everyday problems. He should be castrated.

Actually they do have DNA, they have genes, which is why the debate if they’re living or not living is still going on.

Some viruses sneak DNA into a bacterium through its, um, sex appendage, a long tube known as a pilus.

Nick, that’s a tough question, they don’t have DNA but they do reproduce and evolve. So they’re more complicated than chemicals but are they living things….I’m not sure

I thought I learned in biology class that viruses weren’t considered living things because they didn’t have DNA?

six or sex degrees of seperation is cause of spread of all kinds of viruses. The most effecient viruses are those which do not kill their new host quickly. This gives the new host a chance to spread the virus.
So those women or men with multiple sex are loaded with a variety of viruses. Such people should not be touched with 10 ft pole leave alone be intimate with them

What is ID?

[No, nearly seriously. It seems to have died early, as expected. It bottlenecked back to hardcore creationism...]

One more for evolution, zero for ID.
