This sounds improbable, to say the least. If you were really "allowing
your computer to be used to help find a cure" for all these diseases,
you'd be able to be more specific about which ones, and what for.

Or, in plain English, please let me use your computer to do lots of nasty
things to other people on the net, so that I, "Bill Velek", can't be
traced as the perpetrator.

Would you give "Bill Velek" the keys to your house, your credit card
number, your wallet, the next few TANs for your internet bank account and
the combination for your safe? No? I wouldn't either. So why let him
into your computer?
