Often crosses over with [[Lego Genetics]] and is depicted as a [[Sculpted Physique]]. See [[Living Ship]] for one specific example. Compare [[Bio Augmentation]], which could be '''Organic Technology''' applied to the human body in new and fun ways. Contrast [[Mechanical Lifeforms]], which are organisms that happen to be mechanical in nature. Often creates the [[Womb Level]] in games. A [[Hive Caste System]] is based on using naturally evolved biology rather than technology made from biology. Applied to agriculture, the end result of this trope is often a [[Multipurpose Monocultured Crop]]. |

This is becoming [[wikipedia:Synthetic biology|an actual thing]]. Interestingly, [[Real Life]] synthetic biology ''seems'' to be going the reverse direction of this trope: making biology look more like chemistry and nanotechnology, rather than making technology more like biology. Whether we'll get our meaty [[I Want My Jetpack|jetpacks]] remains to be seen. |
This is becoming [[wikipedia:Synthetic biology|an actual thing]]; in fact, it ''has'' been an actual thing [[Older Than They Think| for a long time]], as mules have been bred using man-made breeding process since 1000 BC, possibly long before then. Interestingly, [[Real Life]] synthetic biology ''seems'' to be going the reverse direction of this trope: making biology look more like chemistry and nanotechnology, rather than making technology more like biology.
