Question

DNA companies that sell mail order custom made snippests
of DNA call " oglionucleotides " should be allowed to just sell to not only skilled microbiologist but also, the " lone wolf " biological hachers with their own ideology to create whatever their
minds will atrificialy design and assemble in the lab??

Would you be afraid of what might be released by accident ??

Answer 1

It definitely increases the opportunities for bioterrorism. Here is an article on it:

Answer 2

These nanotubes, grown by thermal Chemical Vapour Deposition (a chemical

process often used in the semiconductor industry), are promising candidates

for integration into existing nanoelectronic devices.

This result also sheds new light on the possible mechanisms that occur

during carbon nanotube growth. Previously, the assumption that the catalyst

has to be liquid often dominated carbon nanotube growth model

considerations, but at these lower temperatures evidence has been found of

a solid catalyst. These findings extend to the catalytic growth of other

nanostructures in general.

Answer 3

It's a double edged sword... while the potential for danger is real , it's proballity is small... but at the same time, the lone wolf that has a different point of view might just see somethings that othe others have missed

Answer 4

It is insane, and probably Bush policy.
