It is only a matter of time before the far Right chimes in and tries to outlaw “Playing God”. Being able to sequence DNA into a particular life form implies that any sequence could be given life. Designer pets and meat farms would soon follow. Perhaps Blade Runner is the movie coming true, not Jurassic Park.

What a stupid idea. Sequencing genomes is not a bad thing, but then the cloning begins, and where will that stop? Maybe we should sequence the Bubonic plague genome, so some idiot can clone that. THIMK!
