I found a better article to base the discussion on bioethics than the one I previously posted. It is from the US White House commission on Synthetic Biology. If you can, read the Executive Summary.   The entire report is almost 200 pages.  I will be basically giving a review and summary of this report. You can find it at The Ethics of Synthetic Biology. (http://bioethics.gov/sites/default/files/PCSBI-Synthetic-Biology-Report-12.16.10_0.pdf) See you Sunday.
