"Any attempts to unduly limit the freedom of amateur biologists could drive what is currently an open and engaged community into an 'underground activity'. Further open dialogue should be encouraged, not stifled." Catherine Jefferson via this blog post. Which led me to find her report to the Wellcome Trust:
"Governing Amateur Biology: Extending Responsible Research and Innovation in Synthetic Biology to New Actors"
Research Report for the Wellcome Trust Project on 'Building a Sustainable Capacity in Dual-Use Bioethics.

Nice recognition of the DIYbio codes developed at two congresses in 2011.
