Supplemental Essay: Unique question posed by school543 WordsMemorandum To: All employees From: Andrej Ilic Date: 2/18/2017 As you all probably know the last month was a major success for Retrospect Bioengineering – our latest prototype retrovirus H7 was shown to be 100% effective in preventing HIV infection in chimpanzees, but it was also shown to be highly transmittable. This marks a new era for the company: an era in which we should carefully predict all the potential applications, as well as all the potential risks associated with this technology.

I have always found it amazing how the physical existence of our brain translates into something as transcendent as thoughts.
