AHB QUERY: Presently, there is little public discussion of ever using synthetic biology techniques for human genetic engineering. Should it be discussed? The analysis of Princeton University biologist Lee Silver on human genetic engineering more generally may be relevant to such consideration. How would the Precautionary Principle apply to what Professor Silver seems to be advocating?
SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY:
Long Now Synthetic Biology Debate: Jim Thomas of the ETC Group. Thomas is an eloquent and forward-looking critic of "extreme genetic engineering".
THE BIOSCIENCE-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
