In more scientific terms, a direct transfer of DNA has never been recorded from humans to bacteria. Until now.

Sorta like converting to Islam.

People have scoffed in the face of God; and now they’ve literally become a part of what they’ve embraced.

Gonorrhea acquires a piece of human DNA

Okay, how do researches know that it's the Gonorrhea bacterium doing the "acquiring", and not the human defense mechanism trying to alter the DNA of the bacterium in an attempt to render it helpless or diminish it's damaging qualities?

“An ancient disease that sounds like gonorrhea is described in the Bible, noted Seifert, who has studied the disease for 28 years.”

I guess we need dedicated people in the world like Seifert here, but, Man...what a life - studying the clap.

So, which came first in the evolutionary scheme?
The human or the clap virus?

Terrific! This news REALLY makes me want to get right out there and date again, LOL!

On the other hand, my documented clean bill of health will definitely be a HUGE bargaining chip when I’m ‘Husband Hunting’ again in the future.

Sounds like time for a major rewrite of evolutionary theory.

It is known that the human genome has integrated the entire RNA of some viruses, over the course of a vast amount of time. However, if a bacteria can get DNA from us, it could leap frog millions of years of ordinary evolution.

Every year an estimated 700,000 people in the United States . . . acquire gonorrhea.

I can't help thinking about what this means for those who fool around. The odds for those who are young and not sexually active, for those in a monogamous relationship, and for those who abstain from sex are all excellent. As for those who engage in casual sex or who patronize prostitutes, the odds are not pretty.
