    It’s a bacteriophage, a proposed replacement for antibiotics. It cannot hurt you, it is meant to save your life in the future.

      Lmao.

      And you think the country responsible for untold death and destruction, that’s lead by war criminal pedophile rapists, isn’t working on super viruses secretly as well?

        I didn’t say that. I said THIS research is specifically good because it is set to replace antibiotics, which have a well-known expiration date. I can celebrate medical advances without condoning governments that may use the discoveries for evil. Are you of the position that any technology with the capacity to harm should be banned? Or, what is the alternative research method you’re proposing?

          My proposal is sanctioning America out of existence, forced disarmament, and balkanization. You cannot be trusted, as history shows again and again.

                Fair.

                Would this identical research be acceptable then, had it come from a different nation?

                  Does the different nation have a long and well documented history of deploying chemical and biological weapons on the battlefield, in civilian areas, and even on their own population? If yes then it would also be unacceptable.

                    Either I’m not asking the question correctly, or you’ve misunderstood me. Do you take issue with the research itself, or is this purely distrust of a nation? Is it possible for a nation to exist, from which you would applaud this research, rather than condemn it?
