    Nothing can possibly go wrong.......

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Well interesting post Jim!

    Tough one that sort of stuff. Kinda like a rock and a hard place though right?

    While we need to discover cures to things like that, and understand why it was as powerful and uncontrollable (date aside) as it was...are we tampering with nature too much?

    I was into the whole 'punk' movement as a youth....and with that scene went the anti vivisection brigade. But I could never agree with that side of it, as to me (yes selfish as it is) humans can pull rank for a reason, and that reason is we're (generally speaking) always looking for ways to survive.

    I don't condone spraying hairspray into a helpless animals eyes to see if it blinds us....but.....

    I guess you're too young to know anything of what happened in 1918.

    Oh well, I don't mind as long as it's only earmarked for military purposes

    Well I'm not *that* old (OK, well maybe - but we breed slowly in my family) but my Grandfather died of the 1918 flu. He was fit, healthy and in his early 20s, and my mother was just a few months old at the time. As the article points out, people literally drowned in their own body fluids, not a nice experience I imagine.

    That was one of the features of the virus, it killed young healthy people, which is unusual for influenza. It's been recognised for a while that it was the host (immune) response that did the damage, which is one of the reasons why health authorities really are concerned about the possibility of "bird-flu" causing a pandemic if human-human transmission arises.

    It'd be better to test it on Bush, Cheney and Rummy. Without Amerika Saddam would have been nothing.

    If H5N1 mutates into a form that is easily transmissible between humans, and in doing so maintains lethality, we really are fucked, '28 days later/12 monkeys' stylee.
