A controversial scientist claims to have created a new form of artificial life by building a synthetic chromosome out of laboratory chemicals.
In a move certain to provoke fierce ethical debate, DNA researcher Craig Venter is expected to announce that his team of scientists has successfully implanted the artificial chromosome into a bacterial cell, The Guardian reported.
The US-based scientists have "stitched" together 381 genes, based on the DNA sequence of the bacterium Mycoplasma genitalium, a parasitic organism which can cause urinary tract infections.
The bacterium's already-small genome has been stripped back in the construction of the artificial chromosome, leaving only the material essential to support life.
Once the reconstructed chromosome is transplanted into its bacteria host, it will take control of the bacteria and become, essentially, a new form of life.
But the new life form, named the Mycoplasma laboratorium, will still depend on its host's existing properties to replicate itself and metabolise.
Mr Venter told The Guardian that he believed the project was "a very important philosophical step in the history of our species".
"We are going from reading our genetic code to the ability to write it. That gives us the hypothetical ability to do things never contemplated before," he said.
He said he had carried out an ethical review before embarking on the project, and talked up possible designer genome advances, including carbon-dioxide eating bacteria to combat global warming.
"We feel that this is good science," he said.

So sciensatanists have created a urinary tract infection in a dish in a lab?

I don't get it.
Is this a joke?

Well I could see it coming! ... now scien-sin-iasts appear to be on the fast-track to creating fake people and bio-abominations beyond imagining!

Not only that, now they want to muck up the GODLY atmosphere of the earth with their carbo-dioxo buglets!

Things have got completely out of hand ... if they are allowed to continue these satanic projects, eventually there will be no more real people living on a real earth!

Oh I don't believe that nonsense for a minute. When I was a boy they said we'd all have flying cars and dinner would come from push-button machines. Where is it I ask!

Science is all a pack of lies. They pull their "facts" right out of their own behinds and then get mad if we don't swallow it all. Then a few weeks later they change their minds and say it wasn't true but some OTHER fact is.

You know what? God never changes. NEVER!

Just like Global Warming Pastor Ezekiel!
Remember the Global Cooling craze of the late 70s? "Another Ice Age!" they said. "The world will be a frozen wasteland by the 21st century." I still remember it and then they changed their mind and now we will all be ashes on a cinder in 20 years. What a bunch of horse squeeze.

Sciensatanists have no soul and they are all a bunch of idiots.

Exactly, Pastors. Whenever the dogmas of secular, monkey-worshiping "science" (more like science falsely so called, I Tim. 6:20) are disproved, as they always are, the scientists suddenly change their tune and announce that the eternal verities have been revised yet again. Meanwhile, we have the true scientific facts about the entire universe, revealed to us by the Creator of that same universe in the Holy King James Bible. What He revealed to us in the first five books of the Bible is every bit as true and trustworthy now as it was when He inspired Moses to write them. Praise His holy name!
