RE: Is DNA The Holy Grail of Data Storage?

in #technology7 years ago

That's a fascinating story, and an incredible use of technology...the question is, if at some point in the future, data is stored in a person's own DNA, then perhaps the DNA of that person could be re-programmed, if so, then the future of that person could be decided by the programmer....

Sort:  

Yeah, the DNA can already be reprogrammed in a way thanks to genetic modification. The CRISPR technology opens up all sorts of possibilities in that field.

Do you see it as a good thing or a bad thing?
