Even the summary states they they spliced the genes into mouse livers, not put bacteria in the the stomach.gut. The CO2 is released in the the bloodstream. So no, it would actually be exhaled.

Florida Lab Gets Pregnant 149
Synthetic Biology, a relatively new field, is seeking to find out what happened to a bunch of chemicals to make them capable of supporting a metabolism, replicating, and evolution. A Florida lab is showing some of the most promising advancements in this direction with their AEGIS (Artificially Expanded Genetic Information System) experiment. "AEGIS is not self-sustaining, at least not yet, and with 12 DNA building blocks -- as opposed to the usual four -- there's little chance it will be confused with natural life. Still, Benner is encouraged by the results. 'It's evolving. It's doing what we designed it to do,' said Benner, a biochemist with the Gainesville, Fla.-based Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution. In addition to providing an example of how alien life might be cobbled together, synthetic biology has a broad array of uses on the home front."

This won't work, because the only this fails to send the only message they understand: we don't want to buy this game with this DRM.
Think about it. The only reason they put DRM on the game is to increase sales by making pirating/copying the game for a friend more difficult. If you buy the game anyway, you send the message that you will still pay for the product. A pirated copy represents a missed sale.
Affecting their bottom line is the only way to send a message to the people who make the decision to include DRM.
