Re: [DIYbio] DIYbio and Bioethics {entering soft-science}

Hello Jeswin,

I occasionally spend time on working through bioethics issues, mostly
centered around privacy, civil rights, intellectual property &
biopiracy, epistemology, and the problematic concept of "naturalness"
in certain types of arguments against genetic engineering.
I don't write on it much, though - not enough hours in a day.

If you're interested in this, you may like (or already know?) the book
"Tactical Biopolitics" for a start.

More generally: do you already know what particularly interests you in
the area of bioethics?
