The Spin

The rush to create artificial human DNA opens dangerous doors that cannot be closed once opened, with no effective way to prevent bad actors from weaponizing this technology.

Despite promises of medical benefits, the technology could lead to enhanced humans and biological weapons that threaten humanity's future.
