<He said: "It's a great idea but there could be factors to do with safety."

Human growth factors inserted into attenuated viral vaccines? Genes jump, get loose, wander around in ways not understood, and they want to add a human growth factor to an already dangerous, though attenuated, virus?

I know, it's not supposed to act on the virus. And I think viruses are clever little devils, a bit more clever, or at least there are more of them with more time, than many of these researchers.

The researchers can so they will. And, the gene genie is out of the bottle. I'm not a molecular biologist, so I'd want a small army of them to assure me this is safe before they went ahead with it.

Make that a large army of 'em.
