Geneticist Creates First Synthetic Cell.

I believe that this is the start of a great new idea, with bright future ahead.



Call him a mad scientist if you would but he was able to create the first cell from nothing! Craig Venter was able to build a bacterium from scratch, and after some time he implanted it in a cell. This is the first step to creating artificial life. He soon plans to start making organisms that can eat/destroy greenhouse gasses and make the rate of multiplying vaccines extremely more efficient, faster, and safer. This in turn would help thousands and possibly millions of lives because there are people that can’t afford the vaccines, and with this new technology it will lower the cost of them, and also it will help us save wildlife since it helps get rid of greenhouse gasses.
