Creating First Synthetic Lifeform
By CAROLYN ABRAHAM
December 19, 2005
Globe and Mail Update
Work on the world's first human-made species is well under way at a
research complex in Rockville, Md., and scientists in Canada have been
quietly conducting experiments to help bring such a creature to life.
...the first synthetic life form -- a microbe made from scratch.

Sierra Club opposes the release of this nonsense into the ecosystem!!!
