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.

I would like to also remind that the military does not only research weapons.

But they synthesized existing DNA, right? Or am I missing something?
