well, there was that one president w/a crippling disease… :P…[/QUOTE]

As for this vaccine, I’m not sure if tampering with genetics the way that this OP article describes is the way to go. On one hand, activating a gene may be beneficial, but on the other hand, activating that gene may have unintended consequences.

It happened with the Africanized “killer” bees, and it could be an issue with humans. And for those that don’t know, cancer is caused by abnormal gene regulation.
