DNA Synthesizer
Playing God? – “We are not playing…”
After having seen this TED talk by Craig Venter, I came across a cynical yet clarifying comic (etcgroup.org) on his plans to build a new DNA synthesizer, an instrument that is basically about “printing” life. Manufactured DNA can be injected into a natural bacterial cell, where it substitutes part of the original genome. When that cell divides, one of both cells will contain the synthetic genome. Voilá: a new species is born.
Craig Venter is the first individual of whom the diploïd genome was published (here is a small video describing that project).

now that is cool. that is very, very cool.
nothing more to say at this juncture..
Now, that is scary. That is very, very scary!
This is absolutely unethical…oh man…these scientists are just getting so wicked by the days. We are animal loves, you fucking retards
