Copying one organisms DNA and putting it into another organisms cells is creating life? Joel Send a noteboard - 21/05/2010 02:43:53 PM
Does that mean if I tear down my house and build a scale model of the Taj Mahal from the materials, I built the Taj Mahal?

It's cool, as far as it goes, and a big deal, as Roland says, but it's not CREATING life. "Get your own dirt" and all that. That may not be the consensus, but as soon as I implant my DNA into enough of you to create sufficient mes, it will be.
