Sciencehttp://scienceblogtechsource.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/artificial-life-likely-in-3-to-10-years-notme/ [Science] "We’re talking about a technology that could change our world in pretty fundamental ways - in fact, in ways that are impossible to predict."They will create the first cell of synthetic life from the basic chemicals in DNA, allowing it to function and reproduce, but the cell will be so small that would be visible only through a microscope.Jack Szostak from Harvard Medical School predicted that in six months a report of the first evidence will be released by the scientists, an artificial cell membrane for which they’re going to use fatty acids. But Steve Benner, a biological chemist at the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Gainesville, Fla.

Next Big Futurehttp://nextbigfuture.com/2008/05/artificial-cell-created-from-scratch.html [Next Big Future] Artificial cell created from scratch: A team of Penn State researchers has developed a simple artificial cell with which to investigate the organization and function of two of the most basic cell components: the cell membrane and the cytoplasm--the gelatinous fluid that surrounds the structures in living cells. The work could lead to the creation of new drugs that take advantage of properties of cell organization to prevent the development of diseases.

Others might say that, at least at first, making some sort of microbe or organism that can survive briefly qualifies as a success -- even if it requires a lot of outside control or monitoring.

An individual's only resistance would be to constantly question the motivation behind their thoughts and not act upon thoughts which they consider to be outside their own ideological, religious and moral boundaries.' Once again, it is wise to consider how television, advertising, modern education and various types of social pressure are used to manipulate those boundaries.

Blade Runner is one of the seminal science fiction movies of all time and yet we as a species are only beginning to get to grips with the dilemma’s involved, since artificial life = artificial existence.  Thus, the announcement that science is on its way to creating artificial DNA in the laboratory, which could be as easily manipulated as computer code, brings to mind Harrison Ford’s chilling discovery that, like most artificial life-forms, nothing lives forever.
