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.

Human Practice

Abstract

Synthetic Biology is for the whole world

When new technologies are presented to society, the reaction of the public is hard to predict. In the past biotechnology application are depicted as scary and dangerous, becaude of the ignorance of the public. Synthetic biology raises also a lot of questions about safety, security and ethics. We tried to tried to analyze the perception, assess the awareness and improve the eductation of the general public about synthetic biology. In order to reach all stakholders in a organized way, we came up with an approach for our human practice, the EPAC pyramid.
