When they release the news like that it means that it's already old.

They already created new life forms. They'll call them ALIENS to deceive the ignorants.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73832560


Bingo!

Yeah, what could go wrong? The bezerk thread has done its best to follow the synthetic life forms Venter created back in 2010.

I suspect Lake Vostok water, and other untainted water from Antarctica has been used in the cell programming as a blank canvas.

But seriously, why the fuck would they do this?

If it's all so safe, lets see them drink a cup full of said bacteria, as we all contain e-coli as a natural make up of our body.

I bet there's be NO takers on the science team.

Either an alien agenda is at play, with the end game being subtle changes across the board to Earth's flora and fauna, and ultimately us at the top of the heap, with a mind to bio-forming us for control, or complete take over.

Once converted, our direct link to the planet would mean the planet has been captured lock stock and barrel ....

Hey DMG, thanks for putting this out there. You always get the good stuff early. hf

They may be able to inject foreign DNA into an existing living cell, but they'll never be able create a living cell from scratch.

No one knows how to make a cell from parts, not even the cell. The cell has a mechanism for dividing itself, that's it.

The DNA doesn't contain the information to create a cell. It's just instructions telling the cell what proteins to make.

Stem cells can do that. This is entirely different. Creating 'life' that can be programmed from scratch - by men.

Without millions of years of 'testing' and 'evaluating' and trialing with other life forms that co-habit the same biosphere.

Alien is a good descriptor.

Someone mentioned above that it isn't artificial life. Back around 2010 Craig Venter already created artificially programmed bacteria, many of which were used as oil clean up mechanisms in the gulf.

In this announcement, the cell wall may indeed be a 'cleaned' and stripped vessel. The water inside will not be re-used. IMHO the only water they can use is coming from under Antarctica. I have never bought the distraction of aliens, lost cities or Nazis. It's just about getting hold of the waters that would normally take millions of years to disperse into the biosphere, receiving subtle programming along the way, via ice records, and direct solar programming. Maybe GRNs as well.

This artificial stuff... be interesting to know how the dna talks to other dna?

This is starting to sound like "Gattica". Then omly their type of life form will be allowed to live. What if they could revamp the body to not need food and water. What if they took someone's DNA and inserted it into cells and grew a new body for that person? What if they could take an existing cell and override certain traits. They can turn off genes already. They are working on head transplants. Scary 5*

article:

Life, but not as we know it: Scientists engineer first semisynthetic organism with three-base-pair DNA

Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) claim to have created the first stable semisynthetic organism with extra bases added to its genetic code. The single-celled organism is also able to continually replicate the synthetic base pair as it divides, which could mean that future synthetic organisms may be able to carry extra genetic information in their DNA sequences indefinitely.

The cells of all organisms contain genetic information in their DNA as a two-base-pair sequence made up of four molecules – A, T, C, G (Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Guanine). Each of these is known as a nucleotide (consisting of a a nitrogenous base, a phosphate molecule, and a sugar molecule) and are specifically and exclusively paired, so that only A is coupled to T and C is coupled with G. These nucleotides are connected in a chain by the covalent (electron-coupled) bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next, which creates an alternating sugar-phosphate "backbone."

The team from TSRI have added two synthetic bases that they call "X" and "Y" into the genetic code of a E.coli carrier organism – a single-cell bacteria – and then chemically tweaked it to live, replicate, and survive with the extra DNA molecules intact.

In the Bible it says the Sons of God "fashioned" made human bodies for themselves to mate with earth women

Their resultant children had problems with pituitary glands, they couldn't stop growing and turned into giants.`They also likely had no soul as they were violent cannibals.

You can read these accounts in book of Enoch, also Native American Indian tribes remember accounts of these violent cannibal giants
