    Ginkgo Bioworks, a Boston company specializing in “engineering custom organisms,” aims to reinvent manufacturing, agriculture, biodesign, and more.
    Biologists, software engineers, and automated robots are working side by side to accelerate the speed of nature by taking synthetic DNA, remixing it, and programming microbes, turning custom organisms into mini-factories that could one day pump out new foods, fuels, and medicines.
    While there are possibly numerous positive and exciting outcomes from this research, like engineering gut bacteria to produce drugs inside the human body on demand or building self-fertilizing plants, the threat of potential DNA sequences harnessing a pathological function still exists.
    That's why Ginkgo Bioworks is developing a malware software to effectively stomp out the global threat of biological weapons, ensuring that synthetic biology can't be used for evil.
    Learn more about synthetic DNA and this biological assembly line on this episode of Focal Point.

    I'm more concerned about the implications of corporations having patents on life. Monsanto's fuckery in this realm is proof that greed overcomes ethics. When they bioengineered a new strain of seed, and then tried to destroy the naturally occuring origin seeds, so that they could monopolize the patent on their new strain, that's when you have to start questioning the legality of such ownership.

    One of my concerns is that a synthetic micro-organism will get out of the lab, and then have devastating unintended consequences. This is the nature of technological advancement. When humans first discovered how to use fire, this meant that a single person could now burn down the forest, either by accident or deliberately. And this is exactly what happened on many occasions. Though, the consequences with biotechnology could be much larger and affect the entire planet.

    One of the other applications of Syn Bio, is redesigning or rewriting the code for pre-historic or extinct animals including large mammals such as Mammoth, and restoring them back to life, which is more appropriately referred to as 'resurrection biology' or 'De-extinction'. Synthetic Biologists claim to rebuild perfect copies of the Great Auk, the Tasmanian Tiger, maybe even Neanderthals. In our lab, we are studying and trying to do the same.

      Having worked in this field since 2008, I can say that thus far, I've literally never seen the military influence any bio research (not in person), nor have I met anyone who has. I'm not saying research can't or won't be abused, but that most scientists care about science above profit, and especially for biologist, the resistance to military involvement is strong due to the inherent love of life, and militaries propensity toward extinguishing of life. I became a biologist because I can think of nothing more interesting nor important, nothing more valuable, nothing more rare than life. We take it for granted due to its abundance on earth, but we shouldn't. It's the most magical thing in the universe.
      Life is the fundamental forces of the universe, applied with intent. The remaining 99.9999999999% of the universe is pure accident. Most biologists believe as I in this regard and can think of nothing more reprehensible than using our knowledge to end life. Understanding, helping, and even controlling of life from the micro to macro levels are what we're born to do. But not ending... not for those of us with a conscience and a passion for biology.

      The problem here is the organisms will be patented, just like some corporations can sue you if you grow their crop on your land.
      For example: at around 8:00 they speak of engineering a microbe that can fixate nitrogen and at the same time grow in symbiosis with the plants to reduce ferilizer needs even increasing yield.
      But we already have many natural micorrhizae, but none of those pre existing organisms can be patented because you cannot patent nature unless obviously bred or in this case, genetically modified.
      The only thing these corporations are after is owning and patenting and therefor making money off the last parts of the cycle that they do not own yet.

      Basic hydrocarbons can be constructed from (concentrated) CO2 and water with a cheap catalyst and the heat from the sun (literally back yard level science). Knitting them together into gasoline is done in refineries all the time. The main problem is finding a catalyst that can withstand millions of cycles of being heated to red hot and then cooled quickly.

      Or what precisely are they gonna doo with that DNA other that research a grand picture of humans past.

      But if we did well it be real weird, and also by the time we do i think we can make clones of people just by having a image of them, and designing the features on pc.

All of this stuff and SO much more is only really possible through genetic technologies like this, and all of it is safe for consumption because you're not consuming the actual organisms (that probably wouldn't matter anyway).

    This is always an exciting prospect.

If we tightly control how the genes are expressed and how fast it grows, we could in theory grow buildings without having to build them, simply guide the organism into that shape without harming it. And if such an organism was single celled in nature with rapid reproduction, it might be possible to use it to better colonize other planets.

      Evil doesn't exist, simpleton.
      as soon as you arbitrarily Define what good is, you create evil that never existed in the first place. Ever heard of bifurcation logical fallacy?
      how about you stop promoting ideas that were invented before we invented toilet paper? Say something stupid again.
