Chernobyl and Fukushima, both considered standard engineering projects (not landmark projects), what could possibly go wrong? Or alternatively, a faulty research study claims to link vaccines to autism, what could possibly go wrong by publishing prior to further review, surely not a large, damaging social movement to not vaccinate children?
-- ""Church allows that the sperm approach "is technically feasible," although he says that "it will require significant debugging." ""
Males intentionally (and ignorantly) modify their sperm prior to mating all the time- with often drastically poor results- it's called drinking alcohol. Bugs in biology are bad.
""Some DIY biology enthusiasts also don't think governments should have much say in what happens to people's genomes, and a few have already self-administered untested gene therapies. ""
Are these 'enthusiasts' pro-choice or pro-life?
Are they for mandated-vaccination or anti-vax?
Those positions would be illustrative of their actual philosophies of government.
MIT is way behind where they should be regarding ethics education for these technologies which they have hyped into the stratosphere. Undergrads in engineering don't get hyped to build nuclear reactors in their garage because they know it is a very unstable project to attempt, learned from early engineering training. Bio types go into these areas because of MIT's failures to educate, while MIT's media unit fuels every effort to increase the hype.
