Hailed as a breakthrough, a cell driven by synthetic DNA has been
created. But what are the implications for science, man and faith?
By Selwyn Duke
In a development that has alarmed and excited many, scientists have
brought the world one step closer to creating what’s known as
“artificial life.” The breakthrough is the handiwork of Dr. Craig
Venter, a 63-year-old biologist and billionaire entrepreneur who has
long been pushing back frontiers in the field. BBC News reports on the
story, writing:
He and his colleagues had previously made a
synthetic bacterial genome, and transplanted the genome of one
bacterium into another.
Now, the scientists have put both methods together, to create what they
call a “synthetic cell”, although only its genome is truly synthetic.
