Scientist aimed to prevent others' use


By Rick Weiss, Washington Post | February 13, 2005

original story here.

I say finally!! I was getting really depressed with the idea that we were the last stage of human development...I was hoping that all the babies born in duluth after the benzine spill would have webbed feet or a third eyeball or would be able to use psionic powers to enslave adults....needless to say, I was disappointed by the hohum outcome on that one. Now news like this...sounds like the scientist had "good" intentions.
