It depends largely on how many are actively biohacking and what activities are being engaged in. Biohacking is looser when it comes to ethics and publishing results compared to mainstream academic science. A biohacker can stumble across the next cure for a genetic disorder or create the next plague.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fk3grkmd5","appParentAuthor":"blessingob","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
