"One of synthetic biology's most radical spirits is Drew Endy. Dr Endy, who works at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, came to the subject from engineering, not biology. As an engineer, he can recognise a kludge when he sees one. And life, in his opinion, is a kludge." - "Life 2.0", in The Economist

This is so cool. Playing God doesn't worry me at all. It makes me wonder: will the first artificial cognizer be biological or mechanical?

The article also has an original series Star Trek reference.

playing god, kludge, synthetic biology, life
