Synthetic biology is a way of engineering organisms that do not exist in nature, by simplifying the complexity of biological systems through abstraction using standard building blocks, called Biobricks. While creating an organism, the researchers and the students have to think twice whether their actions are safe for the environment and public.

In E.D. Frosti we added several mechanisms to ensure the biosafety. We thought about the dangers E.D. Frosti could entail and the impact it would have on the environment and even for mankind if something goes wrong. But the question remains: How safe is “safe enough”?
