- kanzure 9y agoI think they probably haven't even sorted out their intentions at this point. But you know, these things just have a way of developing on their own just by tiny nudges at the beginning. For an overview of the GP-write project, see the following: 1) Science article: http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/bio/The%20human%20genome%20project%20-%20write,%20hgp-write%20-%202016.pdf http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/bio/The%20human%20genome%20p... 2) timeline: http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/bio/Synthetic%20human%20genome%20project%20hgp-write%20draft%20timeline%20-%202016.pdf http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/bio/Synthetic%20human%20geno... 3) fact sheet: http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/bio/HGP-write-Fact-Sheet.pdf http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/bio/HGP-write-Fact-Sheet.pdf Really I'd like to somehow get EFF to ride to my rescue but I've sort of got myself into this mess on my own so it's not really on them. EFF doesn't focus on biological freedom issues like these, anyway. At least not yet.
