Re: Artificial life
Scientists have created artificial life. In a world-first, Craig Venter, a maverick biologist and billionaire entrepreneur, has made a designer microbe from scratch.The creation of the new life form, nicknamed 'Synthia', paves the way for the way for customised bugs that could revolutionise healthcare and fuel production.

Re: Artificial life
No no and again no, who will take responsibility for this life? who will love,cherish and raise it with all the feelings of a parent. How can it bond with a test tube. Work on illness by all means but we're losing some of the life we have, things going extinct etc, why create more when we can't look after what we have.|
