The terms biohacking and wetware hacking emphasize the connection to hacker culture and the hacker ethic. The term hacker is used in the original sense of finding new and clever ways to do things. The terms are used to refer to several things, for OLGA the following one is important: Do-it-yourself biology, biotechnological social movement in which individuals and small organizations study biology using the same methods as traditional research institutions. DIY biology is primarily undertaken by individuals with extensive research training from academia or corporations, who then mentor and oversee other DIY biologists with little or no formal training. This may be done as a hobby, as a not-for-profit endeavor for community learning and open-science innovation, or for profit, to start a business. [Abgeändert von Wiki] Bisher ist keine eindeutige Definition von Biohacking möglich, da einzelne Vertreter dieser sozialen Bewegung ihre eigene Form von Biohacking betreiben.

So haben auch wir uns überlegt, was Biohacking für uns bedeutet und welchen Weg wir einschlagen wollen.
