Some scientists have engineered a form of the deadly H 5N1 virus that is easily transmissible and could
cause lethal human pandemics. The World Health Organization (WHO) issued a stern warning on
Friday to scientists who have engineered a highly pathogenic form of the deadly H 5N1 bird flu virus,
saying their work carries significant risks and must be tightly controlled.

The United Nations health body said it was "deeply concerned about the potential negative
consequences" of work by two leading flu research teams who this month said they had found ways
to make H5N1 into a easily transmissible form capable of causing lethal human pandemics.
The work by the teams, one in The Netherlands and one in the United States, has already prompted
an unprecedented censorship call from U.S. security advisers who fear that publishing details of the
research could give potential attackers the know-how to make a bio-terror weapon.

The U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Bio-security has asked two journals that want to publish
the work to make only redacted versions of studies available, a request to which the journal editors
and many leading scientists object. In its first comment on the controversy, the WHO said: "While it
is clear that conducting research to gain such knowledge must continue, it is also clear that certain
research and especially that which can generate more dangerous forms of the virus ... has risks."

H5N1 bird flu is extremely deadly in people who are directly exposed to it from infected birds. Since
the virus was first detected in 1997, about 600 people have contracted it and more than half of them
have died. But so far it has not yet naturally mutated into a form that can pass easily from person to
person, although many scientists fear this kind of mutation is likely to happen at some point and will
constitute a major health threat if it does.

Flu researchers around the world have been working for many years trying to figure out which
mutations would give H5N1 the ability to spread easily from one person to another, while at the same
time maintaining its deadly properties. The U.S. National Institutes of Health funded the two research
teams to carry out research into how the virus could become more transmissible in humans, with the
aim of gaining insight on how to react if the mutation occurred naturally.

Arranged marriage survives among the Indian middle class partly because a new kind of system has
emerged. A generation ago, a bride and groom rarely spoke to each other before the wedding. In
many cases they had never even laid eyes on each other. They had no veto power over their parents'
choice, and if the marriage was miserable, so be it. Even now, far the majority of Indians, marriage
still works this way. But these days middle-class couples are allowed to meet several times before
making a decision, and a few can go out once or twice alone. Although most marriages are still
arranged among members of the same caste, engagements may last six months and more, and
women may reject the choice of their parents.
