Make sure you watch the 2008 Olympics, almost every record will be broken as teams of genetically enhanced athletes compete against each other.
Tomas Springstein has just been sacked for using gene therapy (viruses which change your genes) treatment repoxygen on his athletes (to spectacular effects). This is a treatment which increases the red blood cell count in response to exertion (so you dont get tired, or you can hold your breath for much longer). It makes current steroids look like kiddy toys! Authorities cant detect it, short of cutting a chunk of muscle from the athlete. So the 2008 Olympics will see teams of GM athletes pitted against each other, I'm not big on sports but this will be amazing!
The important thing about this is it marks the start of the era of gene therapy. The era starts with GMathletes and ends either with a super-virus apocalypse, or an age of the improved human. Either way its time to make your move.
Repoxygen treatment was developed by oxford biomedica and uses patented virus vectors lentiviruses(the HIV family). Unlike other viral vectors these don't cause cancer, have little immune response and are effective in almost all cells!
This company has also cured HIV with.. HIV. They made an lenitviral vector with an anti-sense code for protein shell of the HIV virus! So it integrates into the host genome and produces RNA which binds against HIV's RNA making it useless. Then they used the same technology to make chickens lay drugs in their eggs.
Gene therapy has also been used to engineer cancer victims own immune cells against their own cancer. This can be adapted against almost all cancer types, and is essentially a cure for cancer - But it will take 7+ years for each version to get through the approval process sadly.
All this is just the start of the implications, much more will come shortly. This means a host of openings just appeared. Invest, experiment, develop, lobby, and save the world. It's your move.
