When I first heard about this(from Chez radio, station of choice in the basement at Baker Street), I thought it was the work of either nihilistic cultists or risk junkies for whom even Russian Roulette had become tame: H1N1 parties.
The architects of these unlikely gatherings are in fact parents, hoping to spare their children the effects of the next 'wave' of flu infections by getting them sick now with the less harmful variant currently out and about in the population. It's like a pox party! But some buzzkills in labcoats are crashing the party (hopefully)before it can get started, descending from their stainless steel havens to dispense such pearls as: it's risky to expose your children to illness, since they could die. That's the abbreviated edition, but I think I captured the jist of their advice.
Read the story and decide for yourself.
Don't decide whether it's good idea or not; it isn't. Just decide if I summarized those scientists well. Actually, I did, so don't decide that either. Aren't you glad I'm around to take care of decisions like this?

Indeed. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you around to tell me these things. Grr, and I was about to have a Swine-flu party too! Darn scientists, ruining my fun :P
