I actually dread what will happen when this would be come as easy as using a 3D printer you can already buy lab equipment on eBay for a fraction of the costs, order CRISP-R kits online and a lot of really weird supervillain stuff like ordering viruses with a “customized payload”. Right now you still need a pretty substantial lab and knowledge to pull it off but at some point you might be reading on hack-a-day “How I hacked my food synthesizer to produce Ebola..” I only hope that our ability to defense against such pathogens would advance at least as fast as we commoditizing the ability to play with proteins and amino acids on a molecular level…
