5x expanded by SojoQ (talk). Self nominated at 11:25, 6 September 2014 (UTC).
This is the most fascinating article I've ever read on Wikipedia! 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, well-referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook refs verified and cited inline. No QPQ necessary for first-time nominator. My only question is why you're referring to the subject as one of a group of bio-hackers.

Let's be provocative. I just found the Biohacking article, so I'll link that. Since I just tightened the wording in the hook, I'm going ahead and approving it. ALT3 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 23:42, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
