Potential Impact of Synthetic Biology on Environment and Food Production
Synthetic biology has the potential to design organisms that can address health problems, consume excess carbon dioxide, revolutionize food production through effective agriculture and synthetic meats, and create new food sources. This advancement may play a significant role in changing human life, potentially leading to a technological singularity. Genetic editing and synthesizing new organisms could pave the way for monumental transformations in various aspects of life, exemplified by the regrowth of limbs in smaller organisms demonstrated by a Caltech scientist.
