It has the potential to create useful changes in crops, improved drugs, stronger materials, and more efficient industrial processes. Scientists are also exploring the use of synthetic biology to address environmental challenges by engineering organisms to use carbon dioxide, produce biofuels for vehicles, and transform methane into biodegradable plastics. Synthetic biology combines engineering principles with existing biotechnology techniques, such as DNA sequencing and genome editing, to modify organisms or create new ones. Scientists use DNA sequencing to read the biological information stored in DNA. As this technology becomes more accurate, faster, and cheaper, scientists are building databases of DNA sequences </span></span></span><span style="color:#2e2e2e;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><u>to help them identify the biological functions of specific pieces of DNA. Complementing this work, advances in computational tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) support rapid and iterative design and testing cycles to replace time-consuming lab experiments.

Considering the myriad unusual functions enabled by BioBricks that could be integrated in synthetic genomes, a concern is that functions upon which nature has never operated may provide advantages over natural organisms leading to unexpected proliferation of a synthetic biology product, thereby radically altering the ecosystem. Microorganisms intended for clean up of one particular chemical may interact with others, potentially passing synthetic genes to natural species thereby “contaminating” the gene pool [Tucker and Zilinskas 2006]. It’s also claimed that even without such evolutionary intervention the released species may interact with naturally existing substances and cause unexpected side-effects [Bhuktar 2005].” </span></span></span><span style="color:#2e2e2e;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Synthetic Biology Social and Ethical Challenges </span></span></span><span style="color:#2e2e2e;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">. </span></span></span><a href="https://haseloff.plantsci.cam.ac.uk/resources/SynBio_reports/0806_synthetic_biology.pdf">https://haseloff.plantsci.cam.ac.uk/resources/SynBio_reports/0806_synthetic_biology.pdf</a></p><p><span style="color:#2e2e2e;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;"> But as we know the almighty dollar </span></span></span><span style="color:#2e2e2e;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">always </span></span></span><span style="color:#2e2e2e;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">takes </span></span></span><span style="color:#2e2e2e;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">priority</span></span></span><span style="color:#2e2e2e;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;"> over ethics and morality in this culture. “Bill Gates is not the only tech founder billionaire that sees a parallel between bits and biology, either.

The statements from Crow and Ernst happened at the Aspen Security Forum during a panel titled “National Security Today: Emerging Challenges and Opportunities” Crow, a Democrat from Colorado and member of the House Intelligence Committee, chastised younger Americans for being too eager to give up their genetic code to private companies who offer DNA testing services.” How Your DNA Tests Could Make You A Target For Bioweapons by Derrick Broze <a href="https://www.activistpost.com/2022/07/how-your-dna-tests-could-make-you-a-target-for-bioweapons.html">https://www.activistpost.com/2022/07/how-your-dna-tests-could-make-you-a-target-for-bioweapons.html</a></p><p> </p><p> Humanity’s DNA is being harvested on a massive global scale and we are generally not aware of what is happening or how our DNA is being used. There are few who have warned over the years that we are being harvested on numerous instances, our DNA and our body parts are being collected often without our knowledge or permission. “Genetic tests are now are available directly to consumers for a variety of applications. Genetic testing services offered through the Internet include testing for genetic disorders or risks, parentage determination, and ancestry. The combination of technology that permits the analysis of small amounts of DNA, increased availability of testing services, and lack of regulations to protect genetic privacy create an environment ripe for surreptitious testing — that is, the collection and analysis of DNA without consent, and the disclosure of information derived from such analysis without the permission of the person tested. It is not known to what extent surreptitious DNA testing currently is taking place. Its practice is most familiar in the law enforcement context. Police have obtained DNA samples surreptitiously from suspects by collecting so-called “abandoned” DNA – i.e., samples left on envelopes or other articles. “<a href="https://geneticprivacynetwork.wordpress.com/covert-dna-collection/">https://geneticprivacynetwork.wordpress.com/covert-dna-collection/</a></p><p> We are familiar with television crime shows where the police or other agencies surreptitiously take DNA samples from a person of interest and use it to solve a crime. This happens in real life all too often. But our DNA is being harvested in ways that have nothing to do with solving a crime, searching for our ancestry or for health care.</p><p>Others are monetizing our DNA unbeknownst to us, “If you’ve ever sent off your DNA to an ancestry or health-screening company for analysis, chances are your DNA data will be shared with third parties for medical research or even for solving crime, unless you’ve specifically asked the company not to do so. The point was brought home in late January when it emerged that genetic genealogy company FamilyTreeDNA was <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/familytreedna--connecting-families-and-saving-lives-300788024.html"><strong>working with the FBI to test DNA samples</strong></a> provided by law enforcement to help identify perpetrators of violent crime.

It can be used beneficially for correcting genetic defects in humans, animals, plants; biological control of harmful microbes and insects; enhancing agricultural produce, etc. It has become ridiculously simple and cheap to misuse data and gene altering and synthesising tools; as simple as the use of an ordinary computer and a 3D printer. Big data, artificial intelligence and gene synthesis are being misused to create racially specific bioweapons and a super race (the old Nazi dream)… The International HapMap Project of 2002 to 2010 developed a human genome map and provided a massive genotype data from Caucasian, African and Asian population samples. Many differences in susceptibility to some diseases, and response to certain drugs between different ethnic groups were reported in a 2015 study in bmcgenomics. Multiple reports in scientific journals in 2016 such as in Oncotarget, in Cell and from Pasteur Institute in Paris, found differences in antibody responses and cellular immunity between those of African ancestry and Caucasians. Those of African ancestry had a stronger inflammatory response and immune overreaction like cytokine storm and autoimmune diseases. Genetic differences affecting the immune system lead to racial differences in the response to infections, drugs and vaccines. In a pandemic, racial differences exist in mortality rates and vaccine efficacy and complications. Genetic data from blood samples about racial differences can be used for racially targeted bio warfare.” Data and genetic manipulation for race specific Bioweapons not an impossibility by Dr. P.S.

This has inevitably led to efforts to clamp down on “misinformation” related to the coronavirus outbreak from both mainstream media outlets and major social media platforms. However, while many of these theories are clearly speculative, there is also verifiable evidence regarding the recent interest of one controversial U.S. government agency in novel coronaviruses, specifically those transmitted from bats to humans. That agency<u>, the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), began spending millions on such research in 2018 and some of those Pentagon-funded studies were conducted at known U.S. military bioweapons labs bordering China and resulted in the discovery of dozens of new coronavirus strains as recently as last April.
