I find synbio terrifying. Think about what you know about the dysfunctions of our field, IT, but with hardware-that-is-software and can eat you or make you sick. A computer virus can infect the Internet, a virus can infect the real world. We should study life for at least two to five hundred more years before attempting applications via these methods. Genetic engineering applications (except for human health) should be banned, IMO, until we have enough information to do it responsibly. We already have species and methods of creating new variations that answer our needs. > Luther Burbank (March 7, 1849 – April 11, 1926) was an American botanist, horticulturist and pioneer in agricultural science. He developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his 55-year career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luther_Burbank https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luther_Burbank
