On science!

Now what's this? A genetic cure for HIV? It could be hokum, but if it isn't there should be something on the New Scientist site/links. Wow. I wonder if they could do something about the propensity towards wisdom teeth growing in modern homo sapiens? I mean, bless their eager calcium hearts, but there isn't nearly enough space in my mouth and it's not like I'm returning to a raw diet or eating roughage anymore (I would have thought the appendix would have given them a clue).

Can they cure it in chimps, too? Then no new mutations of that disease will come to plague us again.

Damn hairy apes. j/k.

Now there's an idea. I'm sure they could but whether they'd be bothered to is another thing.

They don't....the chimp disease will once again mutate and more poor, sorry, unfortunate sonsobitches will die again younger than they otherwise might have.

I'm not holding my breath, mind.

No, me neither. When it comes to History (and thus matters of the future) humanity reminds me of a rhyming verse as told by a stuttering poet.
