An interesting Radiolab was presented today on the growing field of synthetic biology and genetic bioengineering. The broadcast raised the issue of the ever-increasing promise and benefits that can be obtained from the application of the technology…as well as potential ethical and weaponizing pitfalls. The broadcast can be accessed from the Radiolab website, or by clicking here.

There was also an article in Saturday’s New York Times as well, with links to more on this subject; access the article here.
