Ethical? Nope, but it's western. Was this in China and these Cambridge hypocrites would be all over it.

Headline says, 'redesigned DNA'. An inquisitive person asks, 'Who designed the original?'

This is how zombie apocalypse start.

Last time i recall they’d be doing clones and it turned out pretty well

That these recombinations are being created without a clue as to the affect of the new designs on any type of life is alarming to say the least. I hope appropriate safeguards are in place to prevent the release into the wild of a man made Andromeda Strain.

Bring on the Synths!

Actually quite fascinating....

Dont play with fire...

Fake E Coli? Should be interesting.

Coming to Eat Your Face soon

We here at Cambridge think it’s brilliant!

Was it Tommy Robinson?

Sweet

This how the start of every zombie outbreak starts.

And I bet before they created the first living organism with synthetic DNA, they asked 'What could possibly go wrong?' Kidding! Of course they didn't!
