Bio Hacking

Biohacking involves modifying living organisms through DIY means following a hacker ethic of open sharing. It includes activities like changing DNA, enhancing the body, and implanting technology. While some aim to improve health, it risks spreading pollution and diseases. Laws vary by country, with Germany strictly regulating animal testing and equipment, while the US allows purchasing genetic materials online.
