Did you know that scientists have created synthetic life forms by engineering bacterial genomes from scratch? In 2010, researchers led by Craig Venter synthesized the genome of a bacterium, Mycoplasma mycoides, and transplanted it into a different bacterial cell. The recipient cell took on the characteristics of M. mycoides, effectively becoming a new, synthetic life form. This landmark achievement in synthetic biology opens up possibilities for creating organisms designed to perform specific tasks, such as breaking down pollutants or producing pharmaceuticals, but also raises ethical and safety concerns about the creation and control of synthetic life. @CosmicConsciousness | @derekzane1981
