very definitely have moral implications. Europeans brought deathly epidemics over to the new world without even knowing it. Europeans who were exploring and settling in North America brought an abundance of diseases like smallpox, measles, and influenza.

Roberts and colleagues were investigating how this virus was able to spread to neighboring cells (Roberts et al., 2014). While conducting their research, they figured out that the influenza A virus used an alternative pathway to infect cells through the use of GFP (Roberts et al., 2014). The GFP-tagged influenza A virus gave the researchers a visual of how the viral proteins moved from cell to cell in one direction through intracellular connections (Roberts et al., 2014). These intercellular…
