The book, not the movie :P]]>Jul 20th 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/Jul 20th 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/
Nope, the movie. The book had nothing to do with a cancer-killing virus.

(Just watch the alternate ending and the movie suddenly makes tons of sense. The theatrical ending was made at the last minute due to poor audience reaction to the original, which is sad because the original ending was far better.)]]>Jul 20th 2010 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/

same here. nice they are making headway though, cancer is a nasty beast that effects just about everyone in one way or another.]]>Jul 20th 2010 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/
Yeah, the movie is about the engineered virus. I don't think we should be messing with this type of stuff. If it mutates, we could be creating some new incurable disease. The book was about vamps; that I don't mind as much.]]>Jul 20th 2010 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/
"HIV-like virus as the vehicle"

and when i saw that at first glance i thought is was saying you get to trade cancer for AIDS lol]]>Jul 20th 2010 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/Jul 20th 2010 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/]]>Jul 20th 2010 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/Jul 21st 2010 7:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/research-shocker-genetically-engineered-viruses-seek-out-kill/
Because using the words "HIV like" can't possibly scare the ignorant masses.

Sorry broski, T lymphocytes wouldn't be as understood as T-Cell for the average bio-nerd. I get the RE ref. and yea RE FTW. However, when a breakthrough is of this magnitude is presented (to the general public even though the buzz about this crap has been exiting for ages) well bring out the vuvuzela it's time to party!!!!!

Or if you currently have stage 3 cancer... And after multiple surgeries, countless MRI's, CT-scans, and X-rays, and you still have to go through a year of interferon therapy. After its all said and done you still have a 30% chance of not coming back within the next 15-20 years... And your only 29...

But hey... Save the mice, and let people like me die because you want to save a few mice... Its cool, I totally understand.
