Biodesign, comment penser la production avec le vivant ?

Authors

Abstract

Today, a new kind of design is emerging. Biodesign,

indeed, refers to the use of living matter as a technology,

when living organisms are essential components

of the technology. These projects try to improve or upgrade

technology or to make it evolve in a more sustainable

way. Biotechnology is the use of living matter and organisms

to develop or make products, to create new possibilities,

new technologies. But what happens when technology

meets living matter to create one entity ? This article

questions the ethical impacts of such projects

through an overview of several projects in biodesign.
