Wet Artificial Life Possible In 3 Years
August 20, 2007 | Filed under News
Across the globe, some of the top scientists are attempting to create life from nothing, and so far there has been no success but now experts are saying wet artificial life will be possible in just 3 to 10 years.
ProtoLife is one organisation trying to develop wet artificial life and their COO, Mark Bedau, said:
“It’s going to be a big deal and everybody’s going to know about it. We’re talking about a technology that could change our world in pretty fundamental ways — in fact, in ways that are impossible to predict.”
As all life its based around DNA, it could be possible to create some sort of life. As DNA is a just a chemical, all scientists need to do is create that chemical and then they will have created wet artificial life. However, the chemical is incredibly complex, so its not as easy as it sounds.
Do you think scientists will be able to create wet artificial life?
Should scientists be trying to create wet artificial life?
Or is this too much like playing God?

no i do not think it is possible. i think they will say they did..just to give themselves some sort of legitimacy, but it will be a farce. and they wont be able to prove that whatever they created wasnt already alive to begin with.
