The logic doesn't follow entirely. Just because something's been there or done a certain way in the past doesn't make it necessary for the future. Clearly you don't want to be born with everything your parents have. That's why we put antibiotics in the eyes of every newborn in developed countries. The antibiotics prevent chlamydial/gonorrheal blindness in newborns. That being said, it's something to think about and evaluate scientifically - so far it's very early to make any decisions about this stuff given the real lack of data.
Easier said than done. You really need to see the stuff we work with. The abdomen contains such a mass of organs that make it quite easy to loose the small stuff. For example, the small and large intestines are approximately 20 feet and 5 feet long respectively. As well, both are extremely floppy and slippery making it hard to see every aspect in the abdomen. Suture needles can be very small and when they break off, can be very hard to see. Added to this, there can be a lot of blood making things both stressful and messy - for example, I have been involved in dealing with many "salvage laparotomies" where the abdomen is filled with over 4 litres of blood. Further, surgeons often work in teams multitasking different aspects of the surgery with easily double digits of items inside the patient from sponges, clamps, sutures, ties, retractors and other equipment. So even though everyone is skilled, there are a lot of factors that can lead to such a potentially tragic error.
There seems to be no shortage in Vancouver Canada

Where are Wii?

I keep wondering what's wrong with Vancouver. It sure seems to me that there are a lot of Wii's available here. I was just in Costco the other day and they had a huge pile of Wii's for sale. Maybe since we have such a large asian pacific port that we don't see the shortage other places do.
You are mainly correct, however, if you are on a good treatment program, your viral load drops to essentially undetectable levels and you are less likely to transmit HIV.
Ok, they want to put Thailand on this list partly because Thailand has told them we are only going to pay a certain amount for anti-viral HIV medication instead of the hugely inflated US prices. Seems to me that saves US dollars in the end because it is US men (and other westerners too) going over for underage sex with potentially HIV infected girls which if treated appropriately would keep US healthcare costs down by decreasing transmission to US citizens.
I find that this is really a moot point because of the even bigger issue of trying to get on-line access via your network. Network access is very simple given Windows or OS X but for some reason, always seems to be a hassle with Linux. Just look at the Linux forums for various packages for evidence.

Don't forget about Killer Bean Forever by Jeff Lews. Made entire movie himself. No Hollywood. http://www.redferret.net/?p=9573
