Biopunks Tinker With The Building Blocks Of Life : NPR: There's a group of amateur scientists that believes anyone with the ability and a few spare parts can start tinkering with the building blocks of life. They call themselves biopunks, or biohackers.
'It's an ethic; it's an ideal,' says journalist Marcus Wohlsen. He's written a new book about the movement: Biopunk: DIY Scientists Hack the Software of Life. 'This very raw idealism, this very strong belief in science, this very strong belief in technology. This very strong belief that anybody who wants it should be able to have access to both of these things.'
