What is Human Practice? We think, It can be divided into 3 parts. First, let more people have the impression that synthetic biology is not equal to Resident Evil. It’s one of the subdisciplines of biology. In our opinion, as iGEMers, we have the duty to make iGEM and synthetic biology known. So we held many meetings, lectures and camps during the last summer vacation to young kids about iGEM and synthetic biology. Second, learn more about safety of experiments of genetic engineering and pay close attention to safety when do experiments. For this reason, we studied safety on iGEM safety page, searched from the internet and consulted professors. This summer, we contacted qibebt and learned how to regulate a molecular lab. Third, reflect our humanistic sensibilities. Our final goal is to protect environment and make a better future by our hand.  We must do experiments environmentally friendly. Synthetic biology is a subject that can modify gene and change the world. But we are not God, we can’t control others’ life completely. We must respect all the living things on the earth and treat them with respect.</p>

Overview

Abstract

Is transgenic food safe or not? Is genetic engineering or synthetic biology a horrible weapon? What would the world be if we insist on transgenosis? As only few living things that can change the earth, we, human beings, must think over what we are doing and do human practice. What is Human Practice? We think, It can be divided into 3 parts. First, let more people have the impression that synthetic biology is not equal to Resident Evil. It’s one of the subdisciplines of biology. In our opinion, as iGEMers, we have the duty to make iGEM and synthetic biology known. So we held many meetings, lectures and camps during the last summer vacation to young kids about iGEM and synthetic biology. Second, learn more about safety of experiments of genetic engineering and pay close attention to safety when do experiments. For this reason, we studied safety on iGEM safety page, searched from the internet and consulted professors. This summer, we contacted qibebt and learned how to regulate a molecular lab. Third, reflect our humanistic sensibilities. Our final goal is to protect environment and make a better future by our hand. We must do experiments environmentally friendly. Synthetic biology is a subject that can modify gene and change the world. But we are not God, we can’t control others’ life completely. We must respect all the living things on the earth and treat them with respect.
