Scientists have created artificial life.
Lol @ "Dr. Wallace".
Anywho;
That.
Anywho;
Dr Gos Micklem, a geneticist from the University of Cambridge, said that the advance was "undoubtedly a landmark" study.
But, he said, "there is already a wealth of simple, cheap, powerful and mature techniques for genetically engineering a range of organisms. Therefore, for the time being, this approach is unlikely to supplant existing methods for genetic engineering".
That.
Right, thats cool, i love science, but what are we discussing exactly?
i suppose that this is a pretty big step, artificial life and such (even if it is just a microbe)
but as long as the situation is being handled responsibly and with caution as appears to be happening, i dont have a problem with it, although, i will investigate further into the topic before i make a more commited comment.
i will say that i have mixed feelings about the morality of creating artificial life though
