CBC News - Technology & Science - Scientists create first synthetic cell
In that link you will find an article that details the creation of the first genome by man (sort of like the synthetic creation of a new species).
Is it a necessary discovery and are you excited or afraid? Discuss...
And please spare this topic of the science vs. religion arguement. I know it could be a difficult discovery to handle for some to but we all know that people who believe in one side tend not to know much about the other (myself included).
