Funny you should say that. As it turns out,they just have;it was on the news here last night.
Quote:Using four bottles of chemicals and a computer, scientists at laboratories in Maryland and California, led by genome pioneer Craig Venter, succeeded in creating life -- a bacterial organism. Venter and his teams of
scientists created what they call "synthetic cells" and named the bacterium Mycoplasma mycoides. Although there are no immediate practical applications for the artificially created organism, Craig Venter and his researchers are hoping that the knowledge gained can be applied with regard to other practical future endeavors. The findings were announced Thursday through the journal Science.
