[NetBehaviour] BioCoder Issue 2

[Alan Sondheim]

What bothers me are the issues of invasive plants and turning artists 
loose in the environment, who have no concept of ecology and as far as I 
can see from biocoder, no real interest in it. So if you release a 
luminous plant, whatver, you're not really thinking through things like 
commons, stewardship, carbon or nitrogen biogeochemical cycles, etc.; 
you're creating something neat. Meanwhile monarchs are going rapidly 
extinct from gmo, etc. The balance doesn't work for me; we rightly condemn 
gmo agribusiness but applaud artists doing the same on a smaller scale.
