0 scientific experiments with biological material, especially genes, done by people who are not official experts or scientists, either as a hobby or in order to make money or commit crime:
It's a trend known as biohacking, garage biology or amateur genetic engineering.
The idea of biohacking is that people feel able to follow their curiosity and really get to the bottom of something they want to understand.
Tools and equipment for biohacking can be bought easily online.
Biohacking is a buzzword that unites the hi-tech, wellness, anti-ageing and science communities; at its most basic, it means doing things to your body or mind to make them function better.
Biohacking hardware and tools have their power users, but perhaps aren't yet super interesting to the mass market.
Indeed, biohacking is burgeoning even as a hobby and competitive game.
There's an emerging parallel developing in the biohacking world.
For those who prefer to stay biological, but still look to enhance performance, biohacking is another field within the transhumanist movement.
