NEWS: One Positive Use of HIV

Oh yes I remember. A great story.

That's one long ass short story! My copy is 216 pages long!

there's a couple different versions of Flowers for Algernon and a movie...

Two movies now, they remade it a couple years ago.

Define book?

So, how different is mouse cancer from human cancer?

How long will it be before "they" work out how to apply this to humans, get through the testing regs, get through testing, get approval, and go into production?

Treatments are great, but we already know how to prevent many cancers and yet chose to ignore those risks.

Most melanoma is caused by exposure to the sun. Many English people don't think that skin cancer is that serious. You often see them with horrific sun burn. (And a can of lager, kicking a spanish police horse)

Viruses aren't cells. And that's not just semanitcs, viruses attack cells, not other viruses.

"why, oh why did she swallow that fly?
I guess she'll die"


BTW, Flowers for Algernon was a novel, not a short story.

Science scares me. I don't need to know how my pants work. Just sell them to me at bargain basement prices and I'll appreciate them in my own little way.

I'm not very informed when it comes to this subject so correct me if I'm wrong but this sounds comparable to the malaria and sickle cell anemia relationship that's going on in Africa right now. If you have a mild case of sickle cell anemia which you can survive it keeps you from getting infected with malaria or something like that.

This sounds like our one hybrid version of that.

novella. But, to be fair, it was originally a short story that was expanded.

it's the same way they do it for most viruses. they inject you with dead/impotent polio to get rid of polio. they inject you with wearkened flu to fight flu. it's just the way they do these things.

what's your suggested alternative to "lab rats"? (the study actually used mice, but you know what i mean.)

haven't they gotten anywhere with those supposed Super-Whores in taiwan? The girls that got hiv and aids, but for some reason never got sick. just kept on being prostitutes that are 'resistant' to aids. Ho-Ray for super-whores.
