Biosafety

5. Try to think outside the box, what is the absolute worst case scenario for human health or the environment, that you could imagine?

• The absolute worst case that could happen with our biological machine is that the cells get leaked out and somehow become pathogenic, after picking up genes conferring pathogenicity from the environment.
• This risk is highly likely, and in the case that it happens it should be addressed as if it were any other pathogenic E. coli strain.
