Keanumoreira Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 They're like magnets. Not a lot of people know how they work but anyone who's anyone agrees that they're bloody useful! Let's face it, we need viruses, they're not much use now, but once genetic research has advanced beyond the second stage and into common use, they'll be an invaluable way to cheaply distribute mutation across a large population without having to wait a generation to hybredise the genetics into the recipient's children. Well I for one wouldn't be one of those people. Unless it's to develop wings, I'm fine having two eyes, two ears, two legs and arms, one nose, mouth, and head. But based on Bob Edwards famous phrase "Soon it will be a sin of parents to have a child that carries the heavy burden of genetic disease", it seems that this concept will continue to grow.
