Report: Scientists Create New Life Form in Lab
Saturday, October 06, 2007
a.. A scientist who built a synthetic chromosome from laboratory
chemicals is expected to announce the creation of a new species, the first
new artificial life form on Earth, British newspaper The Guardian reported
Sunday.
The new species is a form of bacteria, and the announcement, which could
come as early as Monday, is expected to provoke a substantial ethical
debate about the manufacturing of life forms in a test tube, as well the
dangers posed by introducing a new species, The Guardian reported.
Craig Venter, the genetics specialist who spearheaded the landmark
breakthrough and heads the J. Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, Md.,
where the research was conducted, said the new species, labeled DNL, or
danisnewlover, could lead to dire consequences if the bacteria
self-replicates on the usenet.
"We are going from reading our genetic code to the ability to write it,"
Venter told The Guardian. "That gives us the hypothetical ability to do
things never contemplated before," he said.
For example, the bacteria could be capable of absorbing urinal mist at
public restrooms, displacing carbon monoxide, a possible solution to
global warming, Venter said.
According to The Guardian, a team of 20 elite scientists assembled by
Venter at his institute has already constructed a synthetic chromosome
from lab chemicals-also a landmark acheivement. The man-made chromosome
will be transplanted into an existing bacterial cell and is expected to
take control of the cell. When the synthetic DNA takes over, the DNL cell
will be a new species.
While critics acknowledge that artificially manufactured life forms could
lead to such positive developments as new drugs or treatments for disease,
the potential dangers could be equally unlimited. Already, the bacteria
has spread on the usenet, but has so far limited itself to posts that
simply read, "You are douche bag...take your chemical." Scientists don't
expect the DNL bacteria to increase its vocabulary anytime soon.
"It's a simple minded life form so it isn't likely to progress
linguistically," Venter said.
Venter has provoked additional controversy by applying for a patent for
the synthetic bacterium, The Guardian reported.

I thought they had already done this. There's several of their
experiments currently posting in here Doc.

It's a shame usenet posters don't have the equivalent of Lysol
Disinfectant spray for such new pesky usenet bacteria.
Imagine, just a brief press of the nozzle head and -- poof! -- the
annoying bacterium is instantly dead!
Of course, any new bacteria here, like all bacteria, can only thrive if
the environment in perfectly suited to their biological requirements. When
one deprives them of nourishment, they, at first, get more aggressive in
their desperation, and then, lacking any energizing input, shrivel up and
blow away.
Some, however, mutate into other annoying life forms and continue
on...driven only by boredom, a sheer lack of any self respect, and any
regard for others. .
Doc :))~

Like you and the Douche Bag, yes?
Had a chemical lately have you?

No, the chemical is for the Douche Bag!!!
But I see you too have enjoyed your chemical today
as is evidence of your toasted brain yes?

I have a complaint about the terribly cheap quality ***** you sold me...and
that acrid ***** odor coming from you. Jeez...sell better stuff and take a
shower, dealer.
And...NO...I don't want to buy any kiddie porn from you. How many times
have I told you that?
