I stumbled upon a talk held at the chaos communication camp this year about biohacking. For the ones not familiar with it: this camp is a convention of hackers organized by the german hacker community "chaos computer club".

Since this forum is about grinding the video might be OT to some extend. Especially with it being quite general and more introducing biohacking rather than being in depth. Then again, it really is a nice introduction and provides an overview. The speaker talks about the state of the movement and the direction it appears to take. He also mentions legal issues.
