...question now is whether we can test and produce vaccine faster than H1N1 can spread. Act quickly, and we might be able to stifle the disease in its earliest stages. But even if the vaccines arrive too late to stop H1N1 from spreading rapidly now, they can help build population-level resistance to the disease going forward. The Science study estimates that without vaccines, the virus could infect as many as 2.2 billion people worldwide over the course of the year.

...nevertheless worth analyzing now because if it is developed, it would have profound consequences in relation to enhancement.

Backup copies could be made for safety. And so forth. But it is important not to conflate these more remote possibilities with what is possible today or in the near future...
...even as we discover new species, the existing ones are coming under increasing threat. We're losing species 10,000 times faster than the natural rate, a loss of life so great that we've entered the sixth great mass extinction in Earth's history. Why? Global warming plays a role. When the environment changes faster than animals and plants can adapt, extinction is inevitable. By one estimate, more than one-third of all land plants and animals could be extinguished by 2050 if climate change continues unabated. (See pictures of India's contraband wildlife...
