Check out this info about scientists using a modified version of HIV to fight off cancer and having quite a bit of success with it.

Thank-you for correcting my terrible english, and its nice to know that someone does give damn about topics like this. However I am curious as to what you think about using something like HIV, with all its dangers, to fight the biggest killers of mankind.

I care too, except this isnt exactly the place to gain support for a cause like that. After all, though this is the flood, it IS Bungie.net, a game developer site.

I was just hoping to find someone that would be interested in disscussing the implications of using a virus like HIV to fight off cancer, I suppose you are right though. I guess I just hoped someone had gotten sick of topics like "Do you hate Ashley Simpson?" etc. Oh well I was mistaken.

Hmm. It does seem interesting, and it is in everyones best interest we reduce cancer deaths...No disease is incurable, we'll get rid of HIV soon, as well.

Yes! Finally! The day has arisen, Bungie.net has gone from infested, snarling hellhole inter-forum politics. It may not be much, but we are moving forward.

Exactly. Don't you think it is awesome that somebody actually cares about something remotely worth arguing about? It's progress, toward a better future.

Yes it is a step in the right direction Ben and I apoligise I did not realise you had put this in a thread already. I will change the name of the thread to attribute you as the source of the thread if you wish.

Nah its fine. I just read your other thread and realized you pulled it off slashdot. I thought you just read my articles and posted them yourself. It's been done before.

So excited I am to find another who reads slashdot!

Great site no?
