Thing is... I hope it doesn't. It's kind of the research staff to say this:

quote:

She is a so-called "elite suppressor," and studies of her immune cells have begun to offer clues to how her body does it, the team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore said.
"This is the best evidence to date that elite suppressors can have fully pathogenic virus," said Dr. Joel Blankson, who led the study.


But... I just wonder about the ethics of medical research, sometimes...

That is good news. She cannot be the only one and some of those will have progeny. Natural selection in action.
