[WASHINGTON (AP) -
In an isolation ward of a Baltimore hospital, up to 30 volunteers will participate in a bold experiment: A vaccine made with a live version of the
most notorious bird flu will be sprayed into their noses.
First, scientists are dripping that vaccine into the tiny nostrils of mice. It doesn't appear harmful - researchers have weakened and genetically
altered the virus so that no one should get sick or spread germs - and it protects the animals enough to try in people.

30 volunteers? If something does go wrong with this type of vaccine and they use more then they should I hope those 30 volunteers have their wills
already made out. I, myself, really can't imagine why anyone would want to volunteer for this kind of research.
