@seekingdaedalus: I don't want the research to stop, but the distribution and use of the drugs that would be produced from a successful series of studies would need to be carefully managed.

@seekingdaedalus: We've had antibiotics for less than a century, and we're already facing down bugs like MRSA. Ask an immunologist how many new antibiotics are being developed to expand our arsenal and forestall the pandemic of very hard to kill bacteria. The answer will be very, very few, if any.

That should be his halloween costume for the rest of his life.

@jamouq: Yes, it should be sight. Site refers to a location, sight refers to the sense.

@gloveofpower: So you're a LEGO fan, then?

@xXinsane1Xx: So you haven't played it? It sounds like you haven't played it.

@StephenTotilo or any other Kotaku staff:

@xXinsane1Xx: Sorry, xXinsane1Xx, but BC2 was never broken. They corrected some balance issues over time, sure, but it's had a huge player base since launch. By the end of March it had sold over 2.3 million copies.

@Joel Johnson: Oh come on! Keep stars something that are earned!

@Joel Johnson: You've unstarred and starred people that didn't earn it in this thread because you were offended. Their starring/unstarring do not make sense according to the community guidelines.

@Joel Johnson: What the what?

@ho0lee0h: Yes, I agree.

@NorthernRoamer: One of the greatest mistakes one can make is being shortsighted regarding an issue that is enormous in scope. If you want to call me cold and distant for trying to examine the long-term consequences of something like this, go ahead.

@Bluecold: It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much — the wheel, New York, wars and so on — whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in…

@Essenceofaaron: link?

@hhhtseng: Interesting. Thanks.

@random_droid: Yep.

@HidingInCanada: It is entirely rational and appropriate to examine all possible consequences of something as potentially world changing as this would be. Imagine if we could destroy any virus. The planet's population would explode. More strain on resources/territory, more war, more suffering.
