No, by the time we know the full truth, a homemade human will be trolling the ATS boards

Is this technology like a schematic genetic layout for future alterations to follow.
Through an engineering-driven approach to biology, Living Foundries aims to create a rapid, reliable manufacturing capability where multiple cellular functions can be fabricated, mixed and matched on demand and the whole system controlled by integrated circuitry, opening up the full space of biologically produced materials and systems.
the level of ambition of this program is in line with previous DARPA initiatives, one of which played a crucial role in the creation of the Internet.
When asked for further comment after her talk to clarify the funding levels and timelines for this blue-sky project, Jackson said she cannot disclose further details.

Some people say that DARPA has had former Nazi doctors on staff, left overs from project paperclip.

They are quite persistent and frighteningly serious in new & novel ways to kill folk as it is.
Quite the quandry. I have heard it said by some that they knew
I guess we should thank them for the internet though. I guess.

Oh DARPA, what will you do next?
Scientists are becoming too fond of playing 'god' lately in my opinion. Why do Humans, imperfect by definition, need to be perfected and Genetically Engineered and Modified? I could see positive things coming out of this but I personally see more bad than good.
As for choice B, well it is without a doubt going to happen. If there is a way to do it, man will do it. All we need to do is look at the splintered nations, the continual war, the corruption. Those with power find ways to increase their power.

I could see positive things coming out of this but I personally see more bad than good. We're all Natural beings, not Artificial ones. It seems that the big corporations with their interests in the Biotechnology industry are set on erasing all imperfections in Nature. Examples being this 47th chromosome project, Genetically Modified Organisms and other Biotechnology projects i'm probably not currently aware of. My biggest question though, is why? Their answer probably entails "because we can, deal with it".
It's interesting and frightening watching the Biotechnology Industry evolve, for better or worse.

I think with engineered bigger brains, comes higher IQ's and intelligence. The circle of people that I run with, (belong to a philosophical debate club that's made up of various Philosophers, Phd's, Professors, Doctors, but also Pastor's, and regular folk) and find that the people with high IQ's tend to transcend the whole "I'm better than you" sickness.
