Really devastating findings of these scientists. How not, not playing games, they succeeded in creating artificial life. Do they want to compete with God? Scientific breakthrough made biologists of U.S. citizens. Craig Venter succeeded in creating 'artificial life' for the first time in his lab. The scientists, deny that he is playing God with his work.
The creation of synthetic cells that is 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 of 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. Included in it, making artificial organisms which are designed for specific tasks such as creating vaccines 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 on BBC2 Newsnight program in Washington, Venter has denied allegations he had been toying with the Lord. "The allegations always emerged whenever a new breakthrough appeared in the medical or science related to biology. (Research) has a goal of humanity to control nature. It's just like how we tame the animal, "he said.
"This is a level higher than our understanding. This is the stage where we can begin to understand how life works and perhaps also how we can control microbiology system for the sake of humanity, "he added.
When asked, the new technique can 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 denied fears 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 also believe if this development has the potential to help human life, "he explained.
