Es posible que usted haya oído hablar de Kickstarter, un sitio web muy apreciado por artistas, diseñadores, cineastas y otros, que aprovechan la financiación que consiguen a través de esta plataforma. Pero Kickstarter ha asumido otro nuevo papel, bastante desagradable: una vía para la experimentación de las empresas de biotecnología, que buscan nuevas formas de evadir normas y regulaciones.

2 May 2013 Dear Antony Evans,
Request to Cancel the Kickstarter Synthetic Biology ʻGlowing Plantsʼ project.
We are writing to express our concern, in the strongest possible terms, about the project you have listed on Kickstarter, which, as currently advertised, will likely result in widespread, random and uncontrolled release of bioengineered seeds and plants produced with synthetic biology techniques. We respectfully request that this project, which poses real world risks to the environment, be abandoned as currently described.
