Interesting that among the promised benefits, Global Warming and Energy Sources are selected, the hot topics of the moment. The benefits certainly aren't limited only to those relative to time.
But I would like to know if anybody can provide a link with proper scientific language, because in the Guardian one I cannot see where life is being created. From what I understand from the link provided, somebody took an already existing DNA chain and decided to build a copy of it from scratch, chromosome by chromosome, leaving out a bunch of stuff, probably to reduce the work-load and time consumed. Then they took a living bacterial cell and inserted the DNA inside it, "expecting" the new DNA to take over the old one. The Guardian uses this word, expecting. I suppose they succeeded? Or is there a probabiliy involved, it may or may not work each time?
If so, nothing has been created, but reproduced. Everything already existed. The combination of chromosomes and the matter used to build each chromosome. Then massive affectation ensues and everybody starts talking about their own ficticious imagination of what actually happened, but not realizing it, everybody also believes to be talking about the same thing.
