BBC News - 'Artificial life' breakthrough announced by scientists
Scientists in the US have succeeded in developing the first synthetic living cell.
The researchers constructed a bacterium's "genetic software" and transplanted it into a host cell.
The resulting microbe then looked and behaved like the species "dictated" by the synthetic DNA.
The advance, published in Science, has been hailed as a scientific landmark, but critics say there are dangers posed by synthetic organisms.
The researchers hope eventually to design bacterial cells that will produce medicines and fuels and even absorb greenhouse gases.

Just for the record, I fucking called it!
Synthetic cells...once a sci-fi fantasy, now reality!

How big is this? This is "the first automobile" big." This is "the first personal computer" big.
In the next few decades, synthetic lifeforms will revolutionize our world.

We could make a movie about it.
Instead of Zombieland, it could be Liberalland. Grab your twinkies now!

I'm disappointed, Luissa.

Sure. How many abortions per year are performed worldwide?
How many single-parent children are brought into this world every year?
How many children are starving in 3rd world countries?
Yet billions have been spent on emulating what we learned how to do in the backseat of Dad's car. This ranks up there with creating a black hole and/or the rainforest in Iowa that got major pork.
How many trillions of dollars in debt are we again?

Gunny, I think you are being a bit short sighted. It doesn't seem like such a leap to me from stem cells that morph into whatever body part is broken to cures for Alzheimer's Disease, etc. using synthetic life forms.
And anyway, pure science has value. As does any creative human endeavor.

Stem cells are as much conjecture as your hypothesis in regard to creating life. Both STILL ignore the fact we already KNOW how to create life, and we're trillions of dollars in debt while some eggheads are figuring out at taxpayer expense what they should have learned to do in the back seat at the drive-in DECADES ago.
You last 2 sentences presumes a stance I have not taken.

What do abortions have to do with science that could lead to a new science that has the potential introduce an as-yet unknown field of medicine.
There are better places to cut funding, if this enjoyed any public funding- such as getting rid of the National Endowment for the Arts, earmark spending, and farm subsidies for Big Agra.
You keep making an even bigger fool of yourself. Not only do you want to inject politics into the matter, you want to do so by taking the most moronic position available and spewing the most pathetic partisan hacker you can think up.
Fuck off and take your hackery to the Politics forum where it belongs. Better yet, if you want to discuss funding and deficits, make a thread in the Economics section- that's what you have it there for.

Gunny, it seems unlikely this research relies on any government funds. I could be wrong, but this does not sound like it needs some ginormously expensive telescopy-thingie. It sounds very small, mostly theorectical, and potentially ENORMOUSLY profitable.
I bet some whiz kid millionarie or billionarie is underwriting the expenses of this research, which are likely modest, with an eye towards an IPO that will make them trillionaries. What do you suppose a cure for Alzheimer's Disease, etc. would be worth? Even the suggestion of a cure would be a gold mine.
I posted facts. Period.

You can't address them. Too bad for you.

Thank you for making my point. "THE SUGGESTION OF A CURE ..." is going to make someone(s) trillionaire(s).
Modern day snake oil salesmen and people buy off on it.

Life - the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally.
