Orpheus Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 My main worry behind this, since someone brought up HIV, is how it would adapt to those who have had their genetics altered to become more resistant to those kind of virii. HIV, even 20+ years to this day, has not been "cured". It just continually adapts and works past whatever immunity/resistance one has built up. If it were to adapt, it could become potentially more dangerous to those who have not adapted. It's an interesting topic, and I'd like to see where things go. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal. OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptical Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 A cure to Alzheimers please. Maybe not a cure, but certainly prevention: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/10/051017072307.htm "Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security." Support transparency... and by extension, freedom and democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photosynthesis in animals you say? photosynthesizing sea slugs Not exactly the same, but does offer insight. <the49ronin> O_o methinks ard is acting mighty high and pretty -.- <Ard_Choille> I am pretty <Ard_Choille> fo shizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
