Oh wow, that really does look promising - I hope it plays out through the trials process and sticks to just attacking cancer cells with no other side effects, how awesome is it that the doctor recognized the potential of a part of the HIV virus to do some good instead of harm.

HIV killing cancer actually seems really poetic to me. Taking something that kill us and using it to fight something else that kills us

Like our destruction is also our savior sort of thing
