Spanish Flu Recreated
Scientists have recreated the flu that killed over 50 million people and are making it available to other researchers worldwide.
Studying it to prevent it? I can maybe see the logic. Although the same virus scientists have yet to create a vaccine for the common cold or HIV or even a really effective Flu vaccine. How exactly do doctors plan to prevent the virus they just recreated that was a slate-wiper--kills everyone who catches it?
Sharing it? The logic seems flawed. Any vengeful or morally bankrupt scientist could sell the virus to evil people and reek more havoc than a neutron bomb ever could.
Is it just me or does the world get more dangerous every day--mostly by unintended consequences?
