Nokia China in lawsuit over Hepatitis B carrier

Reading on the MSNBC website regarding the alleged discrimination of Nokia China management in hiring an applicant who was later discovered to have been infected by a hepatitis b virus.

China's amended 2004 law stipulates provision that Hepatitis B, and other similar hepatitis variant carriers, were provided equal rights of employment just like any other healthy individuals, though restricted from other industries related to food and other government offices as stated in official regulations.

With that, I should say that an international law be drafted against this restricting laws that does not help in any way with our friends and families who are infected with this disease. Hepatitis B carriers are, in no way, harmful to the society as a whole, given the proper education and health safety measures installed in a society where they operate. My heart bleeds for these people. I hope that we shall all act to help protect each and everybody else's right as a citizen of the world as everybody deserves to live a better life; not just the privileged few.
