Man Cured of AIDS. No seriously

CaulkClock · November 13, 2008, 01:09:31 PM

QuoteDoctors in Germany say a patient appears to have been cured of HIV by a bone marrow transplant from a donor who had a genetic resistance to the virus.

Some scientists used stemcells, a mutated gene that roughly 1-2% of the european population has, and a bonemarrow transplant to cure someone of AIDS. Holy shit

Quote from: ArticleThe researchers in Berlin said the man, who suffered from leukaemia and HIV, had shown no sign of either disease since the transplant two years ago.

Not really.

Don't tell me the guy that gave the transplant had a genetic resistance to leukemia, too.

Forget the guy that got every disease he could; we need to put that first guy in a tank and harvest his medical secrets!

Damnit. Now how are we going to ethnically cleanse Africa?

Not as subtle or satisfying as slowly killing them with a horrific disease, is it? Besides, it's harder to play dumb when Africa dies from being ravaged by huge explosions; those don't just "happen" like an outbreak does.

You obviously dont understand the idea of "Containment".

Well, Germany can cure AIDS I guess. Here in the greatest country on earth we don't do dealings with stem cells unless we're babykilling moral-haters.
