Should Anyone Care?

One article I found interesting recently was on the lack of effect teaching people about diseases, such as AIDS and how to prevent being infected is.
Don't misunderstand, this approach does indeed help SOME people. There are millions of others however who choose to simply ignore what they are told.
Now I understand why doctors, wanting to do what they can to cure diseases without much further though, would go on to try to find other ways to deal with the disease, and they should, even if only for those who actually care about their health.
Personally though, I think anyone that has the knowledge to keep themselves healthy and disease free and then ignores it, deserves whatever they get. If you KNOW unprotected sex might get you infected and you have unprotected sex with multiple partners (who don't know whether they're infected and so can't tell you) if you then get infected, too damn bad. Your own stupidity is all you can blame for it. People that stupid should be left to die, improving the gene pool for the next generation.
Then again people who actively care for their health, who make intelligent decisions and get infected anyway through whatever means, should be entirely cared for, and again doctors should do what they can.

Why should anyone care about the health of a person who does not even care about their own health enough to ACT on their knowledge? Scientists, doctors and engineers (not to mention lawyers and politicians) spend too much time trying to protect people from themselves. If you're stupid enough to endanger yourself in direct opposition to the knowledge that was given to you, I don't see why anyone should waste their time keeping you safe and healthy.

People need to take responsibility for themselves first and stop expecting the government or anyone else to do everything for them.
