Security officials in the US are increasingly concerned about so-called “biohacking” – a recent phenomenon where amateur scientists grow bacteria and viruses to carry out home-based genetic experiments.
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often. Margaret
watch the movie Splice
What if you have a degree and training but do "independent research at home"? Are you still considered an amateur?
@Josh don't watch splice, it sucks, and they were professionals
This is totally going to stop progress. That is, if they make it a big deal. The morals and ethics that others go by waste so much time when you can inject yourself and deal with God as a judge afterwards. If I was a government, I'd want my people doing this. I'd just monitor every. single. person. I'd have programs to know who my scientists were. And when one came up with something dangerous, I'd pretend there was a deadly virus breakout or something and close off their "lab." Then they'd disappear. Stand under your bridge. DON'T STOP THEM FROM DOING THIS PLEASE. We need progress. The only real issue will be the coming immortals. As long as they hide. Most people don't pay attention anyway.
