I know, it is very scary. Salmonella is pretty scary anyway but to make it a super power GMO bacteria, well, I can see the potential as a bioterrorism weapon.
It is probably less toxic than chemo and it probably would kill cancer. My concern is whether it would stay in just that area or spread to other areas of the body and whether it would be capable of mutating. We have seen MRSA in response to antibiotics and a surge in 19a pneumonia in response to prevnar, super power head lice in response to insecticide lotions. How do we know we aren't going to see some ultra super power killer salmonella bug as a result of this? I know Salmonella does sometimes kill but I mean a more severe version that takes even healthy people.

The test subjects are very brave.
