As most of you may already know, the plane that recently crashed on disputed Ukrainian soil carried some of the world's top HIV researchers.
One part of me holds vehemently that all human beings are of equal value.
Another part of me wishes there could be extra-creative punishments for depriving the world of its best minds.
Opinions?

About a hundred AIDS researchers. Shooting that plane down may kill millions.
That number sounded suspicious to me when I first heard it, and it turns out that according to the International AIDS Society president, it was more like six. Still a terrible loss.
