Genomic Musical Hitting Broadway!

https://www.facebook.com/possessus
How well do you know your genes, and what do you know about the major discoveries about the human genome? Think gene sequencing, gene therapy, computer programming to translate RNA (the messenger of DNA) into protein sequences, 3D bioprinting -- that is, printing out of a 3D printer, human biological material -- and bioinformatics and DIY bio are science material that has nothing to do on stage on Broadway?

Well, don't be so sure... Oh, and by the way...

Do we own our own body (and genes and organs?)

Medicine and science are enhancing and transforming mankind (homo sapiens). We read about this in the paper everyday, worldwide. It's happening now, right under our feet...

The musical about the Human Genome Project I'm working on is about people and who owns them, about cyberpunks, bio hackers, DIY Bio, biotechs and "pig" pharma. Digital devices, sensors, big and small data, genomics, 3D printing, bioengineering, organ replacement technologies (and donation and trafficking): what do WE THE PEOPLE have to say (and sing) about this?

 Possessus, from the Latin word meaning both possessing and possessed.
