Dear Wordly,
this kind of science takes a lot of trial and error which is
why I work with bacteria - I can make lots of mistakes with them and
nobody cares. Also, they have a 20 minute life cycle so I can rapidly
make some more. To make a specific disease for a human would take a lot
of experimenting and trial and error - I am sure _somebody_ would notice
the mistakes (dead bodies) piling up before a any mad scientist could
actually get a working model ready. However, if you give me enough
money I will of course try for you. Regards, Mike.
