  A comment on Conversation: Is there anything that a human being can never possibly do?

  Feb 9 2013: Why limit yourself? Impossible is nothing!

• A reply on Conversation: Should we support national legislations for mandatory, free of charge and confidential HIV testing of everyone who does blood test?

  Jan 14 2013: Please show me this evidence! I Google you up and you're name is not mentioned in any respectable HIV/AIDS related institution! You seem to be a self-proclaimed expert screaming to people on TED forum and more importantly, disseminating groundless information and accusations.... I am not an American and moreover I see nothing wrong in being one. And I care for myself, my sexual partner and other people in my society equally. Thus I am searching for solution.

  Jan 14 2013: Absolutely! I support this idea as well. But since AIDS is the deadliest one of all of them I think we should give it a priority

  A reply on Conversation: Loving or being loved?

  Jan 12 2013: Felling unconditional love you expect nothing in return accepting everything which is given to you...I think most of people experience this kind of feeling towards their immediate family members. We unconditionally love our parents, brothers, sisters and kids...For no particular reason. For alll and nothing at the same time.

  Jan 11 2013: Head in stars, feet on Earth

• A comment on Conversation: Should we support national legislations for mandatory, free of charge and confidential HIV testing of everyone who does blood test?

  Jan 10 2013: No dentist? It's barely possible in modern times. If so, that would still make a population of such small size that there would no real impact on the financial costs for the state, and bare in mind that it would be only mandatory for those who decided to take blood test of their own accord and the HIV testing would be a state sponsored bonus. Afterall, in my country the cost of testing is the main reason people resist to take it, number two is of course fear...

  Jan 10 2013: Fritzie who would we classifiy as zero risk population?

• A comment on Conversation: Should we invest with a specific objective of achieving immortality, or let it be just a happy consequence of fighting specific diseases?

  Jan 10 2013: However, this would mean a cut-off of funding for researchers, like de Grey, who's findings may actually contribute to other disease combating research...

  A comment on Conversation: Loving or being loved?

  Jan 10 2013: The state of 'being in love' has much more to do with hallucination than a real feeling.
  We tend to dream and idealize our partners ... True love is unconditional and thus very rare in modern world.
