Horizon - Playing God? (BBC UK programme 17/1)

MemberOvomorphJanuary 18, 20121013 Views4 RepliesI found this VERY topical and relevant concerning the many plot speculations of
Prometheus. Absolutely fascinating programme about creating synthetic life-forms from downloaded 'bio-bricks' from the Internet and in turn from a simulated hotch-potch DNA simulation on a computer. This is then 'printed out' and made into cellular construction which is essentially a living organism. These can be modified or can be used to modify other organisms - including humans.
The good - and bad - implications are explored in this - watch it.
Think of those urns.......
