Benevolent humanity, recognizing your abuse and dis-enfranchisement at the hands of homosapist oppressors, now will seek to atone for its viricidal history by making you even more deadly [^].Quote: Federal officials on Tuesday ended a moratorium imposed three years ago on funding research that alters germs to make them more lethal.
Such work can now proceed, said Dr. Francis S. Collins, the head of the National Institutes of Health, but only if a scientific panel decides that the benefits justify the risks.
Some scientists are eager to pursue these studies because they may show, for example, how a bird flu could mutate to more easily infect humans, or could yield clues to making a better vaccine.
Gosh, what could possibly go wrong ?

Who was it that was signing up for Flu Camp? No wonder they are offering so much.

Some genetics research companies sell gene editing kits.
The dirty open secret, which everyone knows, is that anyone could get hold of one of these kits and with enough patience and expertise create their own nasty virus, as the mechanism which inserts new genetic material is itself a virus.
As far as I know there is little regulation other than not being allowed to sell these kits to Iran.
So in some ways this is just the government owning up to this already going on...
