Unlike Knox, I do believe that this discussion has had merit and people have changed their minds. I have received e-mail indicating this. I just hope that more people don't like the idea now than before, and that less people like the idea of AVV's now than before. Knox also points out that we may be seeing vaccines turning up. I believe that we, society, morally and legally, should be prepared to treat the authors of vaccines as authors of viruses are. Admittedly that is not too harsh, but perhaps that will change in the future. Peter Urka@ub.cc.umich.edu
