If I tried to make a human infecting Cordyceps, would it be legal in your country? (lemmy.world)

Cordyceps infects different types of insects, depending on the species of fungus some are known to make zombie ants. If someone were to try to breed or engineer a human infecting one would it be legal in your country? This is purely academic....

US. That depends; how rich and willing to legally bribe politicians are you?

Broke boy doing biohacking? You're going to willingly join the alphabet boys in their latest efforts to destabilize China by specifically inventing a virus that turns Xi Jingping into a giraffe, or you're going to superjail, buddy. Don't know shit about viruses or giraffes? We don't care, but it sounds kinda like you want to go to superjail.

Rich nepo baby? Capitalism breeds innovation! We can't afford to be afraid of the consequences of technology! By the way, it's illegal to protest your research now, we personally took turns wiping our asses with the first amendment for you.
