but fucking up is nothing more than human nature. no matter how much more we evolve, there will be certain members of society who never amount to anything, make life-altering decisions, and die early deaths because of them. we'll never totally weed out these 'risk-takers' (although I almost don't call them that--it's to sterile), and I'm sure there will be two people having this same discussion in 100 years and/or 1000 years if we haven't killed ourselves off by then.

I agree, if that 'super-bug' can get them without any fault of their own. The fact remains that, sans accidental exposure, you have to seek this virus out through risky behavior. If you contract it through risky behavior, so be it. I view it no differently than I do some guy deciding to go base jumping and his parachute not opening.
