What's your point? The technology already exists and is being used.

  Your name, password, and the names and addresses and phone numbers and emails of all your family members already exist and are being used. So, by your logic, you have no reason to share them to everyone? The logic doesn’t hold up. You can make the same argument for anything. It makes sense to think about the dangers, not pretend that bad logic is an excuse to do anything you want.

    No, actually your first sentence's logic doesn't hold up as it isn't a fair comparison at all. You can already order custom oligos and synthesized genes for relatively cheap. The chip idea would just reduce the cost more.

      Digging into personal information on people can be done for relatively cheap. I’m not sure it’s a good thing to make it cheaper.

        But, in the concrete case in question (gene synthesising technology), what are those potencial dangers?

  This is silly. Unix already existed, what's the point of linux?

    I think you didn't understand what I was referring too. Read again.
