Synthetic Life

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science_and_environment/10134341.stm



The synthetic DNA is in complete control of the new cells Researchers in the US have developed the first synthetic living cell. Their work, which many scientists have called a landmark study, is a key step towards the design and creation of new living things. BBC News examines the issues raised by this controversial breakthrough.
Have these scientists created synthetic life? They're calling this a synthetic living cell, so yes. But they did use an existing cell as a template and as a recipient for their home-made DNA.
But this bacterial cell, the researchers say, is the first life form to be entirely controlled by synthetic DNA, and so it is synthetic life.
The researchers also employed "nature's tools" to build their new chromosome (the package of DNA that contains all of the genetic material the cell needs to live and function).
They chemically constructed blocks of DNA then inserted them into yeast cells, which assembled the blocks into a complete bacterial chromosome.
What will the scientists do with these synthetic bacteria?

why not?... we already have synthetic food?

I think God has a case for patent infringement.

Then let him come forward in person to be heard, if he is real, that is.

Commander Data is a synthetic life form, and he has been working for over 600 years.

This is the first time on PeachParts that I've seen a thread with "synthetic" in the title and it's not about motor oil!
