- Famous physicist Freeman Dyson, in cover story on Salon.com:
- The biggest part of the computer industry is computer games. I see the same thing happening with biotech. It's now regarded with great suspicion because it's in the hands of big corporations and they do things that people disapprove of, like putting poisonous genes into crop plants. It's become politically unpopular. But I think that it's going to become domesticated so that do-it-yourself kits will become more available to everyone. You will be able to read and write your own genomes and produce roses and orchids and lizards and snakes or any kinds of creatures, according to your own design.
- Now what's not to like about that -- anyone can create their own organisms. It would take a real Luddite to believe that people would create any organisms that would have negative effects.
