GV's "Chrysalis" work group thinks that the Daodan will contaminate the environment sooner or later (in case it hasn't already happened) because of [[wp:Horizontal_gene_transfer#Prokaryotes|horizontal gene transfer]] causing unseen threats. Hence the Daodan needs a patch. The idea was and is to protect the prime symbiont, the human host. To ensure that the microbial Daodan cells only stays with the human flora, these cells need to die in the absence of the prime symbiont by dissolving their genetic material with an enhanced lysosome. | GV's "Chrysalis" work group thinks that the Daodan will contaminate the environment sooner or later (in case it hasn't already happened) because of [[wp:Horizontal_gene_transfer#Prokaryotes|horizontal gene transfer]] causing unseen threats.

This patch solves only one part of the problem. Existing Daodans would be still a permanent danger, especially the unknown number in Syndicate 'property'. In worst case, this threat would have to be met on a planetary scale. This would require full control over all matter and lifeforms.</s><!-- (Biocontrol) --> | This patch solves only one part of the problem.
