I'm seething with anger over this. I can't comprehend why anyone would want to do that. Honestly, NOTHING good can come of that. How about we reverse-engineer the bird flu and find out how to effectively kill it rather than making an already highly dangerous and morbid disease even deadlier? I'm very much pro-science, but this is just smart people being dumb...

There is really only one use for something like this, and its not for the benefit of anyone. We have plenty of way to kill each other already we dont need another one.

Though I seriously doubt this hasn't been done/tried before in secret, I find it very very stupid. What's done is done, but it shouldn't be broadcast to the world.

We're way overdue for another global pandemic. The last really devastating one was The Spanish Flu. I have a feeling that the next one that occurs will definitely be man made, which is kind of sad really.

Well..This will end up well I'm sure.
