Scientists create artificial life
Really devastating findings of these scientists. How not, no kidding, they managed to create artificial life. Do they want to compete with God? New scientific breakthroughs do biologists United States citizenship. Craig Venter succeeded in creating 'artificial life' for the first time in his laboratory. The scientists, deny that he was playing God with his work.
The creation of synthetic cells are described as a milestone in science by a British expert, is a dream come true of research that lasted for 15 years by a genetic engineering expert, Dr. Ventern.
He blew life into the body the bacteria use genes that are united through the process in the laboratory on a concept of development, with the main objective to make the genetic material of organisms. These include the manufacture of artificial organisms that are designed for specific tasks such as creating a vaccine or clean up pollution.
But some experts see the potential for danger in these findings. For example, synthetic life could be misused to create biological weapons.
Speaking in BBC2's Newsnight program in Washington, Venter denied allegations he had been toying with the Lord. "The allegations always emerged whenever appears a new breakthrough in medicine or science related to biology. (Research) has a humanitarian goal to control nature. It's just like how we tame the animals, "he said.
"This is a level higher than our understanding. This is the stage where we can begin to understand how life works and maybe how we can control the microbiological systems for the benefit of humanity, "he added.
When asked, the new technique may be purchased by owners of large capital, Venter said, technology is not for sale. "We're trying to develop this technology to advance the field of vaccine protection. We will use it to develop a basic understanding of cell life, "he explained.
Venter also dismissed concerns that some parties that the technology will be used as bio-terrorism. "Most people agree that there is a growing potential, that the technology could be used for violence. But there are also believes if this development has the potential to help human life, "he explained.
