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.

How does military come in scientific development

[@oldblinddarby2498]

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 hole point of life from nature's perspective, is to make more of your DNA, we have surpassed nature. So more DNA Copies of me = Good. Maybe your fear is that they will clone you if they got your DNA . But why you afraid of that? there is 7 billion humans on this planet, and about 4,5 billion people that have almost identical DNA to you. adding a few more will make no difference. Or what precisely are they gonna doo with that DNA other that research a grand picture of humans past. I suppose one could make a identity tift thing, if we had the teck and the right to clone human clones in fully grown state. we dont. 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. Well im saying it there's bigger problems to worry about that ho got you DNA, unless you really scared of identity theft.

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.

We are expanding our capacity to enhance our lives and or inflict our lives with levels of suffering never before imagined...it will be really cool when the first new life form leaves the lab and then evolves and does what we never expected .....how can this possibly not go wrong?

[@ritac9769]

For all of you skeptical about this stuff - this is where the next critical steps towards a sustainable future are taking place. Imagine that we didn't have to burn down miles of rainforest to make palm oil, imagine if we did have raise chickens in boxes to make eggs because we could produce all of the component proteins using microbes, imagine if could make alternative fuels without oil, and imagine if we could make leather and beef without burning down the Amazon for cattle farms. 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 not GMOs in any sense of the word that most people think of - this work is the future of the planet. We should all try and reduce our skepticism a little by researching how truly awful many of our current natural product and food production systems are, and what synthetic biology can do to drastically improve them. Go Ginko!!

The more we try to play with the things we consume like this the higher possibility of creating new problems.

[@ianstradian]

The problem I have is in 10 or 20 years when the technology has become easy to use and the knowledge we’ve gained gives everyone the ability to alter the genetic structure of DNA and make a synthetic life form, what if some distraught technician who had societal issues decides to let a destructive germ loose because he can’t get with a woman? Right now we have socially awkward individuals who buy firearms and shoot Up schools, or hacker nerds who just want to watch the world burn because no one wants to touch their private parts, what happens when the biotechnology industry has a case of this and we end up with a strain of bacteria that destroys plankton and breaks the food chain?

[@Gr3en]

[@Dogbertforpresident]

Some day artificial intelligence will be able to design exactly what we need using the data from this work. I bet it would see the patterns in DNA to understand the language. Once this happens the world will change on a grand scale. I agree, it's both exciting and scary at the same time. Hopefully they are building safegaurds along the way to combat any bad actors who want to do harm.

[@larsalfredhenrikstahlin8012]

Why wouldn't we? Nature is not intelligent. Nature is pure chaos and evolution has no direction. If there was an intelligence picking the mutations we would be an intragalactic species by now. *edit: Also, we ARE nature. We ARE nature doing what nature has been doing. You realize that right? The nature you're talking about was the nature that mutated us for intelligence so that it could start engineering itself instead of relying on the random chances of mutated DNA because of radiation and such. That is litteraly what happened.

[@pablodana1512]

Lars, "Nature is not intelligent"?? Really? Does nature not showed you yet enough intelligence among lots of other cualities? Maybe your timeline as human in this planet is not (and will never be) long enough compared with nature's, but the work of nature is way more complex and interconnected than a simple intelligence contest. For you nature in one side is, "not intelligent" and "pure chaos without direction", but in the other hand, "was the nature that mutated us for intelligence so that it could start engineering itself instead of relying on the random chances of mutated DNA because of radiation and such"... Sorry, but you're not coherent. It's not a practical problem due to the fact that we in this planet do not have enough life forms and we need more: it´s a greed and power problem and nature got great power, but has no greed. That's the point of balance for all species: nothing was done by design; was done by chance, trial & error and lots and lots of time to test... You realize that, right?

[@larsalfredhenrikstahlin8012]

@@pablodana1512 Yes, and my point is still that we ARE nature. Nature has given billions of years evolved in a way to make it able to evolve even faster. It's not like we are a completely different branch of nature, we are nature. It's not an unnatural path that has led us to CRISPR and gene editing is what I'm trying to say

[@pablodana1512]

Lars, my friend, your vision of things has more to do with fables than with an understanding of how everything interacts in a delicate and precise way. When nature wants to "make changes", it sends a meteorite, an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, a tsunami or mosquitoes in summer; It is true that it does not put humans in a laboratory, so there we go. On the one hand, your argument highlights the ineffectiveness that nature shows in making its processes so slow. You infer that nature "does not do so well" because, of course, the average human lives for about seventy-few years and cannot wait to see / discover / create a new species and that definitely does not fit that kind of evolutionary snobbery that It drives you. On the other hand, that very nature so slow and full of lacks, has the wonderful and magnanimous act of giving the human being that responsibility, as if nature thought and decided, as a god would. Of course, I suppose that the poor nature has to feel old and tired with so much frustrated experiment for years, so why not pass the ball to one of the most destructive species that stepped on and even steps on this planet, right? Very smart! A solid and devastating logic, without a doubt. I think your head was filled with an immediacy and an urgent need for something, but ... you have no idea why you are in that state "I don't know what I want, but I want it now". That is what I read in your comments. Of course we are an integral and indivisible part of nature, but we are neither his brain, nor his soul, not even his conscience. Nor are we his armed arm, his heir or his boss. We are the species that has a privileged degree of consciousness and nothing else. Creating species in a laboratory is a big mistake. That said, I wish you to be very happy with your beliefs, but there is no interest on my part in this talk that does not give me anything useful, nor any interesting argument on which to discuss and learn. Thanks for your time, anyway.
