While it is indeed a cause for concern, it's not all bad. If scientists can make virii in the lab, that means they can engineer new virii. That can lead to new and more powerful cures to current diseases -- perhaps a virus that attacks only cancerous cells? Or a virus that attacks the smallpox virus? Think of the possibilities that this opens up.
