_AdjI_ 12/26/18 1:41:45 PM #4:	I wouldn't say exploit, necessarily, but letting them know about that capability and inviting them to share it with the world would be fair game.

Not at all. He chose to do so because he wanted to make a difference, and as a result saved millions of lives. He should be lauded for that, and anyone whose blood has similar properties should be invited to take his place, but never forced into it. <cite>_AdjI_ posted [p:914732924] in Is it fair...
