Abstract
Synthetic Biology is for the whole world
The ethical and safety issues posed by our synthetic biology project were also thoroughly considered. The synthesis of a DNA strand representing a set of genes arbitrarily chosen by the designer, and its insertion in a living cell will, in general, provide the host cell with new emerging properties that were not present in the original organisms. This poses several challenges in terms of safety and ethics that need to be addressed within the project.
