New Bugs?
How about this then, is it possible?
Taken from a newspaper cutting yesterday:
"Dangerous alien bugs brought back to Earth on spacecraft will never be contained forever, a top scientist revealed.
Human immune systems may be no defence against viruses or bacteria from other worlds.
So rock and ice samples from Mars and Jupiter moon Europa will be sealed away.
California doc John Rummel told a Boston meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science:
"Such life would be hardy. Precautions taken would provide a very high degree of containment."
Some people cannot fight off the bugs we already have, let alone unknown ones from outer space.
They can't develop antibiotics for bugs they don't even know about.
I wonder what would happen?
