Why some science is a really bad idea.
Just found this article over at Damn Interesting. It concerns a species of seaweed bred/engineered for indoor aquariums. It is fast growing - 3 inches per day, resilient to pollution, and tastes so awful noting will eat it. And then it got let loose in the wild... Read the article to see just how bad that is and then consider this next story.
It concerns a laboratory in the USA. They do experiments with "hemorrhagic fever". One of the causes of said fever is Ebola. It's a tenacious little virus, with no known cure and a shocking fatality rate.
Does this strike anyone as a bad idea? ¶ Monday, January 28, 2008
