In the most fundamental sense, DNA is nothing more than a chemical compound, albeit a very complex and peculiar one. DNA is an information-carrying molecule. The specific sequence of base pairs contained in a DNA molecule carries with it genetic information and encodes for the creation of particular proteins. When taken as a whole, the DNA contained in a single human cell is a complete blueprint and instruction manual for the creation of that human being.This Article discusses a myriad of current and developing ways in which people are utilizing DNA to store or convey information of all kinds. For example, researchers have encoded the contents of a whole book in DNA, demonstrating the potential of DNA as a way of storing and transmitting information. In a different vein, some artists have begun to create living organisms with altered DNA as works of art. Hence, DNA is amedium for the communication of ideas. Because of the ability of DNA to store and convey information, its regulation must necessarily raise concerns associated with the First Amendment’s prohibition against the abridgment of freedom of speech. New and developing technologies, and the contemporary and future social practices they will engender, necessitate the renewal of an approach towards First Amendment coverage that takes into account the purposes and values incarnated in the Free Speech Clause of the Constitution. This Article proposes and applies a framework for analysis in the context of contemporary social practices that involve the manipulation of DNA as a case study from which we can hope to gain valuable insights regarding First Amendment doctrine in general. 000041922 525__ $$aPublished in : Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law, vol. 34, no. 1 000041922 650_0 $$aDNA 000041922 650_0 $$aSpeech 000041922 650_0 $$aFirst Amendment 000041922 650_0 $$aExpression 000041922 85641 $$uhttp://www.cardozoaelj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/4.-Roig-Can-DNA-Be-Speech-20160408.pdf$$yView this resource 000041922 904__ $$aJournal article 000041922 980__ $$aBIB
