I am amused that people think that personalized medicine is too expensive/unreasonable, but making a supervirus is a walk in the park.
Yeah, I agree. This line of reasoning seems common and somewhat odd.
In this case though, I think the line of reasoning is a little different: assume that at some point in the future, we have cheap, personalized, and therapeutic (oncolytic in this case) viruses; then we would also have cheap, personalized, and harmful/criminal/terroristic (?) viruses as well. Marc's bailiwick is around "future crimes" after all.
