Executing SARS Spreaders in China

May 21, 2003 | Issue 39•19

Last week, China threatened to execute individuals who knowingly spread the SARS virus. What do you think?

Old Man

Michael Newell,
Systems Analyst
"Finally, they've hit on a workable method of population control."

Old Woman

Colleen Matthews,
Teacher
"We should let the World Health Organization do the executing. They never get to do the fun stuff."

Asian Man

Charles Barker,
File Clerk
"People with SARS should not be ostracized. Many people with SARS live happy, productive lives for three days before their lungs fall into their underpants."

Young Man

Sam Kennert,
Mechanic
"We shouldn't be critical. It's an old Chinese custom to shoot people for no good reason."

Black Man

Martin Reed,
Investment Banker
"I've always said the Chinese don't know how to handle a crisis. Have you ever seen their fire drills?"

Young Woman

Angie Pulliam,
Florist
"SARS has a 90 percent survival rate. That's a higher survival rate than the one for just living in China."
