FRONT PAGE: "In Attics and Closets, 'Biohackers' Discover Their Inner Frankenstein: Using Mail-Order DNA and Iguana Heaters, Hobbyists Brew New Life Forms; Is It Risky?" by Jeanne Whalen, Wall Street Journal, 12 May 2009.

This is an eye-opening glimpse into the future all right. As I like to note in briefs nowadays, most good science fiction today revolves around the same basic plot: the scary and wild West biological future arrives and it's too much for the political systems, so a scary corporatist authoritarianism has to arise (TR's stationary state?) because otherwise it's haves versus have nots and the "having" is all about drugs and biological products.

Anyway, it'll start in the garages.
