The Cure for Cancer Might be: HIV

Posted by Hemos on from the probably-not dept.

RGautier writes "Wired News has published that Scientists have successfully modified the AIDS-causing HIV in such a way that it can attack metasticized melanoma (cancer cells). The impact of genetic research on cancer research is in and of itself amazing. To mix this with the strategy of using one strong enemy against another is brilliance! Research will continue, obviously, but they are already reporting success on living creatures." Just think: between HIV and carrots we'll be all set.

    A Man goes to the Dr, the Dr says "There is good news and bad news" The bad news is, you have HIV. The good news is you have Alzheimers and will have forgotten the bad news by the time you get home.
