Well, since viruses don't cause disease

There should be no problem with this:

Executive summary: a virus that selectively attacks cancer
cells and not healthy ones.

... but I'm sure that the Faithful will find something to
object to.  Maybe the saline carrier or something like that.

The tricks that we can do in the laboratory have nothing to do with
the real world.  I have yet to see a virus issued a hypodermic syringe
with which to inject itself so that it could infect.

Besides, to be effective in man, would't they have to transplant mouse
brain tumors into man, then cause man to grow a tail so that some
other foreign dead material could be injected?

You cannot secure nor restore health with pus or poisons.

You've never seen a mosquito?

Reading skills, Chuckie, reading skills.  Those were human
brain tumors in lab mice.

There should be no problem with this if the virus only atacks tumor
cells and does not mutate as a virus certainly can do.
In addition, the aticle states, "It remains to be seen how the virus
will act on the brain over a longer timescale.
Would be great if it worked without any significant problems.

Careful. Not-A-Doctor Chuckie will call you names.

What is the value of replacing one tumor with another tumor?  What
have you gained?  Additionally, I note, that the authors suggested
that the new, genetically egnineered frankencells, had other defensive
actions?  Hmmm?  Wonder what that might be?

Time to put the pipe down, Chuckles.  You're getting more
incoherent than usual.  The article doesn't discuss any
"genetically engineered frankencells," nor any kind of
tumors replacing tumors.
