Synthetic biology technology is a social/[environmental]/biological experiment said to one day save the world…or destroy it. Although a formal definition of the science that goes into it is yet to be defined, it has [something to do] with writing DNA sequences using computer code and somehow printing it out for insertion into a hollowed-out host cell like E. coli—which will then self-replicate for mass production. And like rDNA technology, it is presented as a way of solving problems of capital like “oil shortages” and for making useful products like the bio-medicines that will one day extend our lives at a price. Others, however, think that synthetic biology is an attempt to “play God” and argue that creating and releasing new life forms may trigger unpredictable disasters since nature itself is unpredictable—and although these [technologies] have built-in “suicide genes,” they remain subject to evolution.
