HIV, standing for His Inescapable Vengeance, is another way to say AIDS.

Oh, now I see. Thank you, Brother. I'm afraid I didn't read beyond the "Crisper" headline. Other ladies who have borne children will understand why the thought of that giving birth to something crisper filled me with such horror. I have little sympathy for Chink women, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone!
So what they are effectively planning is to create something like pre-vaccinated babies? Such Godless hubris, attempting to interfere with His Holy Will! But on a lighter note, there's nowhere quite like China, is there? Where else would "scientists" bother about smallpox, which was certified as eradicated almost 40 years ago - before I was even born!
