Public fear of synthetic biology has more to do with the word "synthetic".  Reference the focus groups done about 3 yrs ago where general, uneducated public described the feeling of the word as "fake, sterile, artificial, not natural".

The automobile industry figured this one out decades ago. "Corinthian Genomics" y'all.
