  • this makes me wonder if dna programming can be dangerous

  • At ~15:35, Rothemund says that we will make new structures, "...using DNA in ways nature never intended." While generally impressed by his ideas, on this point I take issue. As far as I understand it, we can know of nothing outside of nature. We are part of nature, and any creation, any consequence resulting from our actions, is an expression of nature moving within us.
