Biological production of pharmaceuticals is on the horizon. At least two obstacles remain:
1)discovery of the appropriate enzymes to do the chemistry
2)purification of the product from the biological cocktail
The first obstacle is nearly complete.

Once the bacteria is created by just one person, it could be distributed to all other bees who have the purification set-up, etc.
