Quote by William F. Buckley

Everyone detected with AIDS should be tattooed in the upper forearm, to protect common needle users, and on the buttock, to prevent the victimization of other homosexuals.

Everyone detected with AIDS should be tattooed in the upper

Summary

The quote suggests that individuals diagnosed with AIDS should be permanently marked with tattoos on their forearm and buttock. The purpose behind this proposed action is to serve as a means of protecting individuals who use needles and preventing the victimization of other homosexuals. It implies that marking these individuals could effectively warn and potentially deter others from engaging in behaviors that may lead to the spread of the disease or discriminate against a specific group. However, it is essential to acknowledge that such an approach raises ethical concerns around stigma, discrimination, and human rights violations.
