This piece realy made me think about the philosophical implications of engineering at scales 'smaller than life itself'. The parallel between DNA and silicon as ultimate canvases for information is just brilliant. What are your thoughts on the ethical frameworks we'll need as this convergence accelerates? A trully insightful read.
When we shift from “can we” to “should we,” it’s time to apply multiple frameworks, fully aware that each will take its own path, do both good and bad along the way, and eventually converge on what works.
Ethics, after all, is an amalgamation of outcomes from many disciplines. It’s ultimately up to those disciplines to shape the ethical framework itself.
I wish there were a straight answer, but I don’t think one exists. Still, conversations like this play their part, and here we are, adding to it.

Thank you, Daniel!
