Maybe I'm being naieve but I don't find the proliferation of this technology nearly as scary as biotechnology. What would be everyone's feeling if this was a site describing the process of creating a lethal virus?

Bio tech doesn't scare me that much at this point. They can be absolutely horrendous weapons but are usually rather limited in their scope. Effective deployment of bio weapons is extremely difficult. Winds, rain, massive quantities of water (if trying to contaminate a reservoir) are just a few of the factors that have to be overcome to make them effective. That's not to say they won't be able to kill people, just it won't be easy to kill a lot of people. If this were a site that was detailing a revolutionary way of dispersing bio or chem agents then yeah, it would scare me a lot more. As it stands, this doesn't necessarily scare me but it's something that people should be aware of and I think it's something we should come up with defenses for. Just my .02.
