A scientist in America has created artificial life. It is a biological breakthrough of extraordinary proportions which has been compared to splitting the atom - and already criticised as "playing God". Sky's Thomas Moore reports.

  • Playing God? People have been playing "god" for ages, ever since we mastered agriculture and started specifically breeding animals.

    If we are playing "god" the only thing we have to make sure is that we're much better at it than the bronze age ones that people, for whatever reason, still believe in.

  • @pvarabenz but if you change all letters what has been done can you still think that song isnt yours

  • .. This makes me lol so hard reading what fucktards comment. Creation is a more random idea then evolution. Is it possible for there to be someone who made every thing in 6 day?? Oh that's right its not.. And where did that random "being" come from?

  • People who criticize scientific breakthroughs should be told to fuck off when they show up to a hospital bleeding.

  • 'Playing God' Such a brilliant joke, it still is pretty funny.

  • @joematty5639

    Considering what you just described "random, unguided, unobserved processes" is exactly equivalent to the case of a universe with no god at all - the scoreboard is more like Creation -1000, Atheists 0 (because we don't need any points)

  • 2:08 - Nothing, but then we already knew that.

    As for the fearmongering 'ethicists'... well, we all know there's a lot of technophobes around. They haven't stopped the progression of Science yet and hopefully they will not be able to do so any time soon.

  • Playning God my arse! This has the potential for innumerable benefits for mankind.

  • There will be sinister uses of technology for anything. Err... the A bomb? ... Is that not an existing example of this?

  • @poormanlat More exactly zombie and AI apocalypse.

  • X-Men =)

  • This is how zombies will be created! Anywayys scientists should now stop playing god srsly.
