There are a number of scientific and military installations that have samples of all of these virii. As far as eradicating disease, I think it's ethical to inocculate the citizenry against such things. Absolutely, it is most certainly ethical to try to prevent the mass suffering of children, as best we can. Roll back the clock to before the polio vaccine, and take a look at how awesome life was for kids. |
I'm always tempted to use viri or virii aswell, but viruses seems to be the correct plural as viri is the plural of vir (= man) in latin, while -ii is the plural form of words that end on -ius.
