They're only using the HI virus (modified version) to bind with human T-cells, take over the cell and force it to produce a specific protein which makes them able to kill cancerous cells.
 
Oh yeah dude it's only a possible huge medical advancement, no big deal. What makes you so special to belittle something like this?
 
Religion- Science is the devil's work! ONLY GOD CAN PLAY GOD!

But Religion, what about all the advancements in technology and in the medical field that we have because of science?

Religion- Oh that's God's work. He inspires the doctors to be so committed to curing deadly diseases.
 
Say this treatment is done to you, yes you now have HIV, but the HIV you have is not the same HIV Magic Johnson has. Magic Johnson's HIV attacks his T cells and destroys his immune system, your genetically modified HIV attacks cancer cells and leaves your healthy T cells alone.

Simple:

Yes you are injected with a virus, but that virus is good for you.

It's the same idea that Botix is derived from a deadly toxin, but people directly injected into themselves for appearances and does not harm them (if done correctly)
 
and not to mention HIV doesn't kill you and is actually very manageable. It's when it turns into AIDS does your neck join your cock in a pile of shit.
 
threads to actually learn about this, but I felt that this was also relevant

No you misunderstood what I was trying to convey. Of course it's a huge scientific achievement. What I meant with "only" was the fact that nothing dangerous was happening with the HIV, it was simply being used as a genetic component which alters T-cells. It could theoretically be done with other viruses which function in a similar way, yet which are unknown to most people because they have no significant meaning in medicine. Thus the fact that a potentially harmful virus is used in this process holds nothing largely within it. Writing from phone and I hope I conveyed my point.
 
It's called gene therapy, oddly enough the exact research I'm doing (but with adenovirus instead of HIV, which is a far better virus choice IMO)
 
you're welcome, just trying to help you understand.

and yes, AIDS makes your neck and cock join together. skiierman speaks truth on that
 
personal treatments are cool but the cost is immense. I haven't watched but I believe the idea is to make the immune system attack cancer cells. this would work well if all cancer cells looked the same on the outside and remained that way. look up provenge.
 
Nope. With having viruses attack cancer cells (oncolytic gene therapy) the goal is to have the cancer cell express genes transfected by the virus and then said genes cause apoptosis in the cell.

End of my nerd rant
 
Doctor: So do you want to continue treatment? The cost is immenseYou: No, I'd rather spend it on something else.

Doctor: k

You: *dies*
 
pshhh aint nothin. not like we've been trying to kill cancer for ages or anything. Nothing to see here. Move on

But seriously, science is nuts. to think what we're gonna see in our lifetime
 
Every time I read about medical treatments being tested now-a-days, my mind is simply blown. Maybe it's because I just didn't hear much about stuff like this when I was younger, but it seems like we are just truly pushing the impossible at such a fast rate now.
 
And we have the truth.

The only reason we have HIV anywhere on this thread (or in any discussion about this video, or the video itself for that matter) is because HIV is one of about 5 viral diseases that most journalists have heard of.
 
So if I'm reading this correctly and I can have sex with someone who is treated from cancer and I'll be cured of cancer.
 
ahh that's he alternative. Same issue though, you'd need everything to present the same cell surface characteristics so the virus has something to look for.
 
Yes. Eventually the cancer killing disease will be in everyone because it will be spread with reckless abandon and cancer will no longer exist in the human race.
