Re: [DIYbio] Article in Guardian

I gave a pretty long reply to his post a few days ago, as its the standard fear mongering we hear about DIY Bio.

One article that helps substantialy backup the idea of DIY doing no harm: http://news.sciencemag.org/biology/2013/11/do-it-yourself-biologists-doing-no-harm-survey-finds

Reactionary off the cuff fear that someone might do something wrong would stop any science or progress from ever happening.  Its a bit depressing that his comment is the highest ranked one to the Guardian piece.

I found it funny to read your comment before looking at the article,
because I saw French text in the first sentence.
