The main advantage of blockchain technology is supposed to be that it's more secure, but new technologies are generally hard for people to trust, and this paradox can't really be avoided.

I personally, generally, don't really feel much emotion if there's some problem and I'm actively solving it.

What the public needs to understand is that these new technologies, especially in recombinant DNA technology, allow scientists to bypass biological boundaries altogether.

New technologies, however remarkable they might seem, are fundamentally just tools made by people for people.
