Bloomberg: Warning: Don\u2019t Try This Biohacking At Home<\/a><\/article>
Early this year, a 28-year-old self-described biohacker named Aaron Traywick injected himself with an alleged herpes vaccine prepared by fellow amateur medical researchers. The injection, which was broadcast on Facebook Live, brought on a volley of criticism and ethical concerns. Only a few months earlier, a colleague at the company Traywick founded, Ascendance Biomedical, injected himself with an alleged gene therapy for HIV. It\u2019s unlikely either of these treatments worked,\u00a0but they succeeded in proving how easy it\u2019s become for amateurs to experiment with infectious agents and other biological materials that were once restricted to trained professionals. While it\u2019s illegal to sell biohacked therapies or vaccines, or to test them on human subjects, so far at least, the FDA does not explicitly forbid experimenting on yourself.<\/article>
