They better keep it under safe observation. But then again.. it might help with some of the world's overpopulation.

Whatever they actually do intend to do with it though, they can have fun messing around with it. If they want to use it for new research, fine with me. As long as it isn't for some hidden conspiracy or something.

Wait a minute...aside from releasing it as a biological weapon, how would it help control overpopulation?

Somehow, that's what I was hinting towards.
