What if it only kills the 20% that malaria would not have killed? Yay! we caused a 100% death rate. It was only 20 kids though, and since none of them were your kid I guess that is ok with you.
Of course testing it on poor coloreds is a OK, Never mind that we developed these testing protocols over a long period and now you think you know better than those with actual education.
Perfection is the enemy of good. We can do this, we cannot reasonably do what you suggest.
Birth control is already widely available in Africa, most African nations have some form of public education and many are working towards sustainability. Within 50 years they will have negative population growth.
Your entire set of comments sounds like "White Man's Burden" to me. I suggest you study the continent and the problems it faces before suggesting the world treat them like savages.
For example, sound and light from the device could be disabled when entering a movie theater, or communications with other devices could be disabled in a science laboratory.
How is that patentable? Not only is a obvious, it is already implemented by various android applications. Tasker probably being the most famous.
Can you now patent stuff people are already doing?
Yes, which is why adding in this treatment gets them closer no farther away from low birth rates.
They need more western technology not less.
They need roads, schools, air conditioning, etc. Much like those places we are fighting in now, making sure those places had comfortable folks working 9-5 would solve a lot of problems for everyone.
Traditionally if it is not pantent protected and it is this kind of need there is no financial risk at all. The WHO or some other body goes to the pharma company and negotiates a price that covers manufacture and some guaranteed profit. Much like how you get your water and sewage assuming you live in a town or city.
These are the same morons who try to hinder nearly all human progress, they fail to realize "Perfect is the enemy of good".
In their other forms they claim electric cars will never get better, wind power kills birds, solar power takes land and that fracking can never be done. They never consider that perfection will never be reached, but each step towards a better answer is a worthwhile step.
Human trials find that drugs either work as expected, not at expected or there are serious complications from the drug that might even be worse than what it cures.
Saving lives will help with all of that. My reducing infant mortality, less children will be born. This means more access to resources for each child that is born.
Your first link has laws that are not silly. You should be cited for driving too slow, I see no problems with fines are incarceration for genocide, and a law forbidding fake weather forecasts is good as those save lives.
I could go on if you like.
I still see no laws I am breaking. This sounds like a complaint you have not researched very well.
Just require under penalty of death that each legislator be required to read the entire law himself before voting on it and all laws expire after X years.
So you can't even name one? That seems to confirm my suspicion that this is total bullshit. If it was so common it would be easy to name at least one.
Freedom for individuals is great, feel free to paint yourself red and run down the street screaming during the day. Do it at night, and you will need to be quiet so I can sleep. Freedom for one individual does not mean free to impact others. That is why I brought up the popular mantra in the USA.
I keep hearing that but no one so far has been able to identify one felony I commit.
Please do clear that up for me.
Freedom is relative. To have a society we have to give up some freedom, like say shooting at random folks. I do not think being required to not waste water is that odious. I think the "fuck you, I got mine" concept that seems so popular is a far bigger problem for our society.

You cannot have education until you have the free time for that.
There is no logical disconnect, only reality and history proving me right.
Not everyone is as dumb as you, and the fact that you think poor people are like that tells me far more about you.

Too bad they need millions not thousands.
It would be a great way to show the government that the people care though.
No, you got modded down for suggesting such a terrible Gin.
Yes, which is why adding in this treatment gets them closer no farther away from low birth rates.
They need more western technology not less.

The continent that birthed all human life cannot support any?
Low population growth rates are a function of being comfortable. If infant mortality is high humans will have far more offspring.
Just being realistic here, slashmydots, you might want to think before typing.
Because malaria does not kill all its victims?
Or this drug may not even cure malaria in humans.
Are you this dense or just a big fan of Mengele?

So you want to ship them terrible tasting water and Gin only fit for cleaning?
What do you have against africans?
They can wash down this pill with some club soda and Hendrick's.

Western technology is what caused western birthrates.
You have the whole thing backwards.
What if it kills 90% of the people who take it?
Human trials find that drugs either work as expected, not at expected or there are serious complications from the drug that might even be worse than what it cures.
Saving lives will help with all of that.

The 4S is nothing to judge against. Look at some of the 720p screens that are not pentile. The HTC rezound has a nice one.
My Galaxy Nexus has a pentile screen and while I love the phone I hate the pentile look.
The launcher sucks.
Pentile screen.

Repealing old laws to pass new ones seems silly.
Just require under penalty of death that each legislator be required to read the entire law himself before voting on it and all laws expire after X years.

Food has water in it. So what you are suggesting is taking along oxidizer, which is how rockets work.
Rather than smuggling toilets, you know they could just buy higher pressure units right?
The fact that people would rather break the law than spend $20 extra on a toilet says something about our society I think.
Cool, lets say I want to use it for my mortgage, how would I do that?
Just because you can some tiny amount of things, does not mean I can use it in my day to day life.
