I am looking forward to reading this. I find this sort of thing interesting as well, crich. I have a medical condition that was created my modern science (a drug 'allergy' which came about because they tried to hijack a not really used enzyme in the body in order to break down the drug and then realized that some people had a genetic deficiency of this enzyme which would not have affected their lives in any way unless they were either given this drug or bitten by a certain South American tree frog) and I think that as medicine progresses, we will see more such things. They'll solve one problem but create a while different one! Look at the rise in food allergies. People are being exposed to stuff they never would have been exposed to before and their bodies are over-reacting to it.
