What? This is ridiculous. There should've been a mass outcry of such the blatant security issues the likes of this company has just demonstrated.

A group of scientists say they want work toward being able to create a synthetic version of the entire human genetic code in the laboratory. "The study of Nature makes a man at last as remorseless as Nature."

I always find research relating to the human genome a cause for concern. I am completely in favour of research where there are clear benefits to medical science, but I am not always convinced that research such as this is justified.
Humans are a fallible species, and whilst the scientists involved may be genuinely looking for uses of this research to progress medical science, it can also be used for less than ethical purposes such as creating designer babies, which is one step away from eugenics.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
