EE Times has a nice article about biohacking. Quote from the article: "Even if we don't have bioterrorists and teen-age biohackers, we will still create things that do not have the properties that we thought they would... [The problem is that the body has not evolved a general ability to fend off artificial biological agents.] Even if you are genetically resistant and even if you are recently immunized you will have problems with this type of bug."
