As the iGEM headquarters put effort to bring the topic of synthetic biology close to the society, more and more attention was given to human practice. In year 2008 to 2013, there was a total of 707 teams who joined the iGEM jamboree and received medals, and a total of 1387 human practice projects were conducted.

But how well exactly has human practice developed over the years? How much attribution was made in each region? Are some types more commonly done than others? To answer these questions, HKUST iGEM 2014 team gathered all the information since the year 2008, hoping to see some correlation between regions and types of projects done, and some possible trends over the years.

This section primarily focus on the number of teams all in all over the regions from 2008 to 2013. The graph simply suggest that the number of teams who did human practice projects has significantly increased throughout the years, and the teams who did not do human practice projects are decreasing as time passed by. There may be a multiple reason for this cause. Primarily it would be due to the fact the synthetic biology and iGEM has increased its popularity and it is encouraged for teams to introduce synbio and iGEM to the society.

Teams who did HP each year

This may also be caused due to the emergence of best human practice award. Therefore some teams are aiming to win it. To sum up, human practice has become an increasingly popular destination for iGEM teams, especially in recent years.

Scientific contributions focus primarily on describing related empirical facts about the universe, exploring the context and parameters concerning the 'how' of life. Science also studies and can provide recommendations for the pursuit of well-being and a related conception of morality.

The meaning of life is a philosophical question concerning the significance of life or existence in general. It can also be expressed in different forms, such as "Why are we here?", "What is life all about?", and "What is the purpose of existence?" It has been the subject of much philosophical, scientific, and theological speculation throughout history. There have been a large number of proposed answers to these questions from many different cultural and ideological backgrounds. The meaning of life is in the philosophical and religious conceptions of existence, social ties, consciousness, and happiness, and borders on many other issues, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value, purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, the existence of one or multiple gods, conceptions of God, the soul, and the afterlife.
