Cool, I have been thinking about that since the first thread. I am glad they keep mentioning the film idea. It would be neat to see something come of that.

I hear Polaroid is discontinuing SX-70 time zero film in March. I have hopes someone will buy the patents and keep making it.

"Also new is an engineering approach - the desire to make the design of life forms more predictable, like the design of a bridge. That could be because many leaders of the field are not biologists by training."

There is another name for that. Eugenics.
