Problem
Imagine that this story took place at your institution and that the administration decided that they must announce the deaths to the community and their families. You get a call from your mom (or other worrisome guardian); she has just received the news and is frantic. She declares that you will need to withdraw immediately and return home!
Write a letter to your mother explaining the biology of vCJD in layman, but accurate, terms and justify whether you agree with her assessment or disagree. Use facts and logic (hint: the use of data/citations increases your credibility).
