Evil Bioengineering Idea
In my biology class today, I got the evil idea to engineer a virus that targets skin cells and injects a very long stream of DNA into their nucleus that causes them to produce chloroplasts, along with more chloroplast making viruses. Okay, so you'd be green and be very uncomfortable in a dark place, but hey, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO EAT EVER AGAIN! You'd also always be thirsty, and swimming would cause your skin to swell up. Some more plus to this would be that you might have to never breathe again because as your cells use up oxygen and produce CO2, your skin would turn that CO2 back to oxygen and produce food for the rest of your body.
This helpful virus could end world hunger, and hungry countries that have alot of sun (like Africa) would be the best place to test this out!
Since I want to go into computer engineering, I could be flexible with that and go into bio computing (erectin' a GLaDOS) and get a degree in both bioengineering AND computer sciences. Not only would I be building living computer systems, but I would also be ending world hunger by engineering biological oddities that the human population could find useful.
