Show #633: DO IT YOURSELF LIFE
Guests: MacKenzie Cowell, Founder of DIYBio, and computer scientist Meredith Patterson
Subject: Scientists in laboratories can take apart two living things and recombine them into a new living thing. Individuals in basements and garages now say, “Me too!” This leads us to ask… Should life be free for the making?
Topics include a brief overview of how life may be re-engineered; why this technology should taken out of the laboratory and used by “hackers;” and what might come if life is free for the making.
