Then by your own definition, nobody can ever create life from scratch, since everyone is a living organism, ergo your entire point is meaningless.
Perhaps a bit more thought should go into your posts next time. When they eventually do create a cell from scratch, I bet you'll be there complaining loudly that they used already-made chemicals and matter to do it. Just be a man and admit you simply made a semantic mistake.
The thing that separates life from non-life is genetic code; DNA, self-replication, etc. This is the part they created. Just because they used a natural cell doesn't mean that their work creating the actual "life" in that cell is any less valid.
