barthebear	Most people dont like that idea but it certainly would solve some issues especially with genetic diseases that are hereditary. I would voluntarily do it for the good of society if I had a communicable, incurable or genetic disease. It saves money too.Then you get into pre pregnancy genetic testing issue which is also controversial so I doubt people will like it. One has to be totally unselfish and noble to go for that.

Snowhiker	Trust me that would not solve the problem. Sending the not so smart ones that might help!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shakiebaby2001	Okay, what if you had scabbies and you could not get rid of it, and what if yo' mother and your father put you on a island and wanted nothing else to do with you. How would you feel? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Available F	ladytx03 that would not be a nice thing too do and if we did, it will hurt every -one think about it those who dedicated there life to render Christ like services for the healing of others Scientist -Doctors -Nurses-the list go on and on . We would do away with a lot of professions, I'm sure you agree. LOL Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

thunderstrike	it might be a bad idea.it could lead to a number of even worse consequences for society.if we protect society from any one that could threaten it(diesease,pathology,mental condition,sanitation standards,religion and so on)there would be no end of the deprivations the human mind could think of.the idea seems good,but it could go the eugenics route quickly,especially since the human dna has been mapped.i would hate to be on the voted out tribe...

"Vallamkali"	No, then we will never find a cure for it. Remember leprosy? It is a good idea to send everyone with STDs to an Isand to purify the society. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

James J	Yes and you should drive them all there. Thanks for the two points looser! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

TeriR	That's a slippery slope. There are many incurable diseases that are not communicable -- cancer, MS, Thyroid disease, diabetes, migraine, glaucoma, etc. We could end up with more people on that island than we'd have left in society. We've had great leaders with incurable diseases. We'd lose many, many valuable members of society. Not, in my thinking, worth it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pohakumaikai	Yeah, lets start with you... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Your #1 fan	Why stop there? Let's seperate the races too loser. You should live within the highly contagious community. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mlgable	I hope not as my dad has cancer and his is not curable but I wouldn't want to send him there. My best friend has Bronchiectasis which is not cureable and I don't want her going either. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Toots	God forbid you should ever be stricken with an incurrable disease...then how would you feel???? Hitler tried to "purify" the Germans...look what it got him (and thousands and thousands of innocent people)... You may want to watch "Shindler's List" or" Sophie's Choice"..these are two movies that will tear at your heart and soul...and leave you a MUCH more tolerant person... And if they fail to do that...something needs to soften a heart so hard that those movies would not make you cry... Purify indeed....... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
