I agree this is amazing and huge, but for my own sanity, what stops someone from engineering cells that do bad?
Ethics.
Which is to say not a lot.
But it’s not really a practical attack vector, if you’re worried about weaponisation. Simpler to just dump VX into the air.
That do bad in which way? Cells tend to die pretty quickly if you don't look after them properly. Which costs a shit ton of money depending on the type of cell. So not the best weapon overall
