More personal.
               More distributed.
               More human.


               This is not AI replacing doctors or farmers.
               It’s AI amplifying them—bringing the power of biologics
               to the edge of the map, the margins of the system, and the
               heart of every community.


               And that—quietly, intelligently, and organically—is how
               you change everything.




               7.6 – A New Hippocratic Oath: Durable, Ethical,
               Local


               Medicine has long been governed by a simple, ancient
               principle: First, do no harm. This tenet of the Hippocratic
               Oath has guided generations of clinicians through the

               advancement. But it was written in an era of bloodletting
               and mysticism, not billion-dollar monoclonal antibodies
               and AI-optimized lettuce plants.


               Today, we live in a world where the most advanced
               therapies may never reach the patients who need them
               most—not because they’re unsafe or ineffective, but
               because they’re expensive, fragile, or gated by systems
               designed for control rather than compassion.

               As our tools change, so must our ethics.


               In the age of edible biologics—plant-grown, AI-guided,
               orally delivered therapies—"do no harm" must mean
               more than avoiding side effects. It must include confronting
