During the course of the past summer, we not only refined the technical and biological side of ''Cellock Holmes'' but also considered other aspects of our iGEM project such as '''social acceptance''', '''biosafety''' and '''economical relevance'''. | During the course of the past summer, we not only refined the technical and biological side of ''Cellock Holmes'' but also considered other aspects of our iGEM project such as '''social acceptance''', '''biosafety''' and '''economical relevance'''. | ||

How can we convince people that the technology we develop is safe to use and that the problems we tackle concern everybody? Unfortunately, a lot people around the world are scared of genetically modified organisms and any application related to them. Though we believe that '''natural skepticism''' towards new and unproved technologies is not just good but especially desirable, the current fear some people encounter gene technology with is a bit disproportionate and might be counterproductive to technological and scientific advance in related fields. | How can we convince people that the technology we develop is safe to use and that the problems we tackle concern everybody?

Our iGEM team is committed to reflect all aspects of the entire project, including biosafety. From the beginning on, the team thoroughly discussed safety issues that could potentially arise with the implementation of ''Cellock Holmes''. The results of these discussions fundamentally influenced the design of ''Watson'' and the choice of potential application fields. Read more about our safety considerations on our [https://2014.igem.org/Team:Aachen/Safety Safety] page. | Our iGEM team is committed to reflect all aspects of the entire project, including biosafety.
