I joined a biohacker Discord a while ago out of curiousity. One of the channels was dedicated to getting a Chinese company to synthesize a pipeline pharmaceutical that was being researched in mice by some company. The people in the channel didn't want to wait for the human trials to experiment on themselves. Long story short, they got a synthesis and paid thousands to confirm its purity. Several people took it and experienced some extremely concerning, potentially life threatening side effects. I noped out of the Discord because I didn't want to be associated with that group in any way after watching how they operated. Genetic engineering is a whole new level of potential problems.
