First Artificial Life Created!
It is reported that artificial life form is being created within weeks. Craig Venter, an American Scientist have created a synthetic chromosome by using chemicals in his laboratory!!!!
What is a chromosome?
In genes and DNA in the nucleus of a cell, a chromosome is one of the threadlike stuff that makes them. This is the first time a genetics researcher was able to create such chromosomes in the lab.
Controversially, this means Craig Venter was the first person on earth to create life in the lab. Sort of a God if you ask me!!
Craig suggests that the artificial man-made chromosomes can be transplanted into a living bacterial cell, and then it will take control over that cell, just like that! Effectively what Craig is doing, is creating new life forms by taking over existing life forms and completely changing it to something we have never seen before!
Now, you will hear all kinds of religious people attempting to ban such research, for the love of God in them. I wonder if humans thought for a minute about all these diseases that can be cured including aids, would they accept what Craig Venter is up to?
