The right to practice religion freely has been enumerated by Americans in the Bill of Rights. Take the example of an American Muslim mujahideen (holy warrior) who believes it is okay to practice jihad as part of his or her religious beliefs, and in the process kills a lot of people in the name of religion. Do we allow this person to continue practicing his or her religion in the manner because they have an unalienable right to practice religion as they see fit? The answer would be a resounding [b]no[/b]! Analogously, should a person who practices unsafe sexual activities be allowed to continue their activity without any sort of warnings? If a person knows he or she is HIV positive and he or she continues to be unsafe and promiscuous, should we let them go on without offering some words of admonishment? No, because what they are doing jeopardizes the health of other people. If the carrier informs his or her partner of their infection status, and the other party consents to unprotected activity anyway, fine, that's between them. But what we're saying is, while you can't exactly bar people from having sex, you can still tell them that what they're doing is unsafe or a bad idea. in the end, it think it all comes down to [b]do no harm[/b].
