It's so preliminary, but promising... Common virus 'kills cancer' (http://www.cnn.com/2005/HEALTH/06/22/cancer.virus/index.html) "Our results suggest that adeno-associated virus type 2, which infects the majority of the population but has no known ill effects, kills multiple types of cancer cells yet has no effect on healthy cells," said Craig Meyers, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the Penn State College of Medicine in Pennsylvania.

I was wondering years ago if there might be viruses that had beneficial effects on humans. Now if they can just find one that gives you a tan, fixes gray hair, cures acne, dissolves fat... we'd have people lining up at health clinics asking to be infected with them. :D
