AHB NOTE:
This Washington Post article relates how researchers will soon breach lines never crossed before by creating previously non-existent life forms out of completely synthetic DNA. The blurry border between “natural” and “artificial” will be blended beyond recognition and evolutionary processes will be human-directed in ways previously unimagined. Research boosters gleefully predict organisms that will create exotic fuels and drugs. Critics warn of virulent new pathogens for horrific use in bio-weaponry. Regardless of intent, the new organisms will be self-replicating. Even in the best of circumstances, could their control, and the public’s safety, be ensured? Should answering such a question be left to corporations that will profit lavishly from patents and sales? Please encourage others you know to join the AHB Network to increase public scrutiny of these important issues.

AHB NOTE:
The lead researcher of this development reports he is "quite sure it will work in humans." What are some of the unintended consequences of primate cloning? Read the AHB comment, Ushering in the New Eugenics.
