+ | <p>L’utilisation du Curdlan pose de nombreuses questions : Peut-il créer de nouvelles maladies ? | ||
+ | Peut-il entraîner un déséquilibre de la flore ? A-t-il un mauvais effet sur les abeilles ? Va-t-il entraîner | ||
+ | une augmentation de la croissance du frelon chinois ? On pourrait ainsi permettre à une espèce de | ||
+ | proliférer au détriment d’une autre. On peut aussi se poser des questions des effets qu’il pourrait | ||
+ | avoir sur l’homme. Taux de sucre plus élevé dans le verre de vin ? Il ne faut pas être naïf ni | ||
+ | catastrophiste. | ||
+ | La sécurité est une composante importante de l’éthique : par exemple, on peut s’intéresser au | ||
+ | devenir de notre bactérie. Ces dernières sont neutralisées à la javel avant d’être jeté dans une | ||
+ | poubelle destinée à cet effet. Il faut faire attention à ne pas relâcher le gène de résistance à | ||
+ | l’ampicilline dans la nature. Sinon les médicaments à base d’ampicilline ne seront plus efficaces. | ||
+ | Notre principale faiblesse dans le projet : On devra s’appuyer sur des publications lues sans tester | ||
+ | nous-mêmes sur des plantes par manque de moyens et de temps. On aurait mis autant de temps que | ||

+ | <p> <br>First, it is important to us that our project was related with <b>transparency</b>, so that uninitiated people can apprehend our scientific approach. Our <b>Wiki</b>, in free access on the WEB, allows us to clearly and concisely expose all the thinking steps which governed our Cur’dVine project. It also allows us to <b>share our knowledge and results</b> to as many people as possible. New iGEM teams or other researchers could use our results to continue our project. | ||
<br>Then, our implication in annex projects such as Cap Sciences, making street interviews about GMO's or high school presentations of synthetic biology, makes democratizing synthetic biology to the general public. All these actions incited us to <b>think about the ethical questions</b> that the general audience would wonder. | <br>Then, our implication in annex projects such as Cap Sciences, making street interviews about GMO's or high school presentations of synthetic biology, makes democratizing synthetic biology to the general public.
