“The most pressing worry is that someone somewhere will use the spreading technology to create a bioweapon.“
Gene editing already is a bioweapon, in every conceivable application. Just as every GMO is a bioweapon in principle. What the corporate media means is, a bioweapon not controlled by the corporate state. This is its only concern.
But any GM bioweapon will be the child of technocratic civilization, whether this ultra-modern civilization acknowledges paternity or, as a reactionary, declares its child illegitimate. (That goes for all the reformists as well, with their pretty words, sordid actions, and malign neglect.)
This kind of garage eugenics is meant to be only the Peter the Hermit stage of the GM eugenics crusade.
Propagate the necessary new ideas. Destroy the dinosaurs’ eggs every chance you get.
