The UK government has just declared that synthetic biology – the science of making novel living organisms – could lead to a new industrial revolution and should be a research priority. Many environmentalists argue instead that creating new life forms could endanger the existing ones. But it may be that synthetic biology is our best hope of preserving life on our planet. :rofl: https://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/mar/29/synthetic-biology-best-hope-mankind So, no need to worry then?
Gee, you'd think preserving the life we already have would be the best hope of preserving life on our planet!
