    We need to make CRISPR as easy as 3D printing. Open source genetic modification.

    Sure, we’ll get lunatics making doomsday viruses in their basement, but also other lunatics designing vaccines for them you can make with your own desktop bioreactor.

    More importantly, we’ll also get people turning themselves into catgirls.

    Screw cyberpunk; biopunk’s where it’s at.
