Its not just we vs them, as he mentions the possibility to print biological structures is kind of creepy, so some control is necessary. You wouldnt want kids printing out viruses and such far fetched scenarios.

We hackers have a responsibility to not only fight against stupid laws, but to put in place sane ones, which respect freedom and privacy and also maintain public safety.



I think he mentioned that as printing out biological structures that would eat Monsanto's products. You can take this to mean it is creepy, but I think he meant it was a threat to Monsanto and when Monsanto realizes this, they are going to attempt to get legislation passed.
