Today, the genes could be modified to cause death or sterility and be spread thru the mos breeding. Far more important than going to space.

It's a bit sci-fi, but if it could be done, i think the cure/vaccine would spread to more people and more quickly than medical personel could distribute it.

The study just made sure the participants were protected from malaria (via quinine or whatever) while they let malaria bugs bite them, which stimulated the body's natural tendency to form an immunity against it.

This is such a brilliant idea. If only this worked on AIDS.
