Using Viruses to Fight Defects & Diseases (Gene Therapy)

Gene Therapy seems to hold a lot of promises. Can't wait to see what results will show in the next few years.

Vampires? I thought they were highly aggressive humans with limited intelligence that get extreme sunburns.
Don't forget the outcry that came concerning the creation of a laboratory altered virus made by scientists a month ago.
Zombie apocalypse here we come!

Ironically, I'm pretty sure they're called vampires in the book.

I think they were a combination of both. They couldn't come out in daylight..including their dogs, and they were extremely strong, deformed and fast. I suppose in the movie they liked human flesh, but with an antedote, they could return to normal. I hated when his dog got bit.

Thanks for making me spill coffee all over the keyboard when I laughed uncontrollably. [derriere orifice].

Haas what the hell? They were technically vampires though they were living, breathing vampires. Real vampires would be considered part of the undead the same as Zombies who are also dead/undead but are not living and breathing. What the hell I can't believe I'm actually discussing this!!!! The creatures in I am Legend were more vampire like then zombies. That's all I got say.

Zombies.
