		<description>As someone who is very interested and working in an area related to this field, I found this article very thought provoking

FTA &quot;Into a relatively innocuous bacterium responsible for a low-mortality pneumonia, Legionella pneumophila, Popov and his researchers spliced mammalian DNA that expressed fragments of myelin protein, the electrically insulating fatty layer that sheathes our neurons. In test animals, the pneumonia infection came and went, but the myelin fragments borne by the recombinant Legionella goaded the animals&#039; immune systems to read their own natural myelin as pathogenic and to attack it. Brain damage, paralysis, and nearly 100 percent mortality resulted: Popov had created a biological weapon that in effect triggered rapid multiple sclerosis. (Popov&#039;s claims can be corroborated: in recent years, scientists researching treatments for MS have employed similar methods on test animals with similar results)&quot;

The genie has been let out of the bottle. While it can never be put back, lets all work towards using nanobiotechnology for the betterment of human kind</description>
