Could It Lead To "Mad Human Disease"? Synthetic Vegan Cheese From Human DNA Strands Coming Soon
A San Francisco based, synthetic biohacker group has made hundreds of headlines for creating cheese without the use of cows. Young biohackerspace people from BioCurious and CounterCultureLabs make up the group. They beat out 243 other groups to take first place at this year's iGEM "jamboree" competition. iGEM stands for international genetically engineered machine. The winner's group fundraiser brought nearly $40,000 from donors - over double the amount they needed. They claim to have approval from many vegans, without the anticipated anti-GMO backlash. Genetically engineered bakers yeast is inserted with DNA strands, some of them human - to cut down on allergies they said - to make the yeast into a "milk" protein creating factory.
