A recent acquisition of $10 million in private funding has not pushed CEO Austen Heinz to back off from his 3D printed dinosaur comments made last year.  Instead, he\u2019s actually doubling down on them. Making human DNA available to anyone may scare the crap out of ethicists, but the 120 investors in Cambrian Genomics don\u2019t seem to share that fear.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HCKpl_T5r_I\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The small company currently has only eleven employees, but after their successful investor buy-ins, that could change rather rapidly. Among the investors is venture firm Founders Fund, who believes that the technology that Cambrian Genomics developed could change the world and allow us to generate creatures that have never existed, but can be created specifically to help us.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-40531\" src=\"https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/dna-laserprinter.jpg\" alt=\"dna laserprinter cambrian genomics 3d printing\" width=\"700\" height=\"477\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyone in the world that has a few dollars can make a creature, and that changes the game, and that creates a whole new world,\u201d explained Heinz to the <em>SF Gate <\/em>recently. \u201cIt is the most powerful technology humans have ever created. Hydrogen bombs can destroy whole planets, but this is a technology that can create planets. This is the greatest human achievement of all time \u2014 the ability to read and write life, because that\u2019s who we are.\u201dGranted, this kind of genetic tinkering is very controversial, and there are certainly places where this could go horribly wrong, as Hollywood might suggest, but the benefits may be endless.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40532\" style=\"width: 920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-40532\" src=\"https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/heinz_ge_plants.jpg\" alt=\"Cambrian Genomics CEO Austen Heinz\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cambrian Genomics CEO Austen Heinz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Being able to mass-produce DNA allows medical scientists and researchers to push into unexplored territories only dreamed of by science fiction writers. While Heinz said that his technology could indeed be used to alter the DNA of our offspring to fit our liking, it could also lead to advances that could eradicate genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis and birth defects.<\/p>\n<p>Realistically, we\u2019re not going to be able to cure genetic disorders without granting humanity the ability to alter its own genome in other, less medically necessary ways. Much like cosmetic surgery, there is money in the customization of the human body, and anyone who thinks that the idea of tailoring your perfect child before conception won\u2019t be enticing to a lot of people are fooling themselves. It\u2019s also important to remember that quite a few medical advances and surgery techniques that have saved countless lives weren\u2019t developed in research labs but rather the operating rooms of cosmetic surgeons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Franciscan biotech startup, Cambrian Genomics, has continued their pursuit to make DNA an affordable consumer product with their DNA laser 3D printing technology (outlined in the video below).
