  • you rule man! having a little sections that we can break off one by one :P

  • Cells...

    o_O

  • ya but they are cells not intelligent aliens plotting and planning, and you never want to close any door sides if we cured it once who said we can't again in the "what if's" you like throwing around.

  • ya dangerous what if for small pox but we shouldn't wipe out a gene who knows how it can be used latter simply keep it under lock and key and makes your children remember what's inside Pandora's box.

  • i hate homework.

  • The important thing to remember is that we evolved alongside these diseases. What is the interplay between host and microbe? That is the first thing that needs to answered. Perhaps we will one day need to incorporate part of its genome into our own. To dispose of such a thing would be very short-sighted.

  • Yep, that would be insane and irresponsible, but unfortunately it's not impossible.

    =\

  • Definitely. Hope it never happens...

  • That would be so scary.

  • or even if those viruses are developed for use as a weapon.
