so what do you think of it :dunno:

I must admit to being a bit concerned when I read stuff like this. I think the main worry would be the danger of this stuff ending up being used against the human race instead of for it. The world is full of people whose main aim is to destroy and that would always be a concern. Having said that, I think this stuff has a long way to go before its going to be used.....if ever............so I don't reckon we need to worry just yet.
