Should we, as a society, try to slow down the introduction of machines capable of artificially fabricating anything at the biomolecular level?
It is a rather complex question: if a technology of abundance were to suddenly land in our laps tomorrow—bringing, say, "bio-printers" capable of creating anything from molecular blueprints—would that abundance actually benefit us? Or should we tacitly agree to let state-backed corporations maintain an artificial scarcity regarding such technologies? #technology
