Lab Created Virus Kills Cancer

An Australian company has, according to what I read, created a virus capable of eliminating cancers. While I have moral concerns about genetic engineering in general, I simultaneously do recognize the huge breakthrough the cancer killing virus is, and the lifesaving potential it has. I guess my position these days just has to be, engineer responsibly.

Strange Diseases: The "Vampire Ailment"- Xeroderma Pigmentosum

Xeroderma Pigmentosum (or simply XP) is a medical condition that makes people ULTRA photosensitive, among other things. It is sometimes called the Vampire Ailment, because some of those afflicted can only safely go out at night (as I understand it.) I first learned of the illness by watching a film some years ago, which if I recall correctly is called "Children of the Night" or "Children of the Dark". It was a Lifetime movie. I'd link it here if I could find it on YouTube or Dailymotion, feel free to look it up yourself.
