China warns SARS spreaders could face execution

BEIJING - China is threatening to execute or impose a life sentence on anyone who breaks quarantine orders and deliberately spreads SARS.

The Supreme Court laid out the punishments in an attempt to prevent SARS from spreading through the countryside, home to many of the country's 1.3 billion people.
The court cited existing laws that include a possible death sentence even for nonviolent offences, although it isn't often imposed.

Some human rights activists say the measure is too extreme.

The illness has killed 271 people in China, including four new deaths on Thursday. Officials in Hong Kong are reporting seven new deaths from SARS.

dang, thats messed up right there man. What if one of those guys who are spreading that crap coughed on a bus driver and ran and did that to alot of ppl but they had no clue what he was doing? That would be messed up eh?

Fuck it, there's 1.3 billion of 'em. No biggie. evil:

i think they should execute people who DONT spread SARS. I mean, damn, theres too many people there

I think they should execute you.

LOL!!! biggrin:

scalls save the retarded responses for your own mind.

Here in Taiwan they just fine you something like 400,000 NT$ (about 20k US$)

I think a death sentence or life in prison is pretty over the top, but what do you expect from China's government? They give the death sentence for many things.

Sell drugs in Australia? ok you go to jail for 5 or so years.
Sell drugs in China? ok you die now.

But the death penalty for rape is fully justified. It should be like that everywhere.

Totenkopf and Sclass12, did you two have the same parent? dumb fuck heads, people like you need death.
[/flame]

If you're caught coughing on anyone, you get the death sentence! ed:

Man, for their huge population, I wouldn't blame them.

If I were them I'd invade Taiwan. Conflict -- nature's way of saying FUCK YOU!

NEIN!

WTF!!! omg god dammit i have a friend in china i hope she doesnt get SARS. That is fucking messed up killing them just becuase their sick omg thats inhumane.

The country has what 1.2 billion people, thats almost 20% of the world's population. Try finding a better way to control a population that big yourself.

Well what if you had family and friends over their wouldnt you be worried about them. I dont have family over their but i have friends over their and i dont want them getting shot.

well tell them to fucking dont break the quaratine rule when they get the virus. DUH!!!
