It's Alive!!!

It's Alive!!! Not quite — yet, anyway. In an advance toward giving artificial cells the ability to move, one of the hallmarks of life, chemists in Japan and Italy endowed the oil droplet shown in ...

um.. movement really has nothing to do with whether or not something is alive... not even close, unless it has a metabolism. Is that what is causing the movement? Cause otherwise you might as well say that tornadoes and hurricanes are alive.

OK...movement DOES have something to do with whether or not something is alive, but it's only one-seventh of the story. To be alive something must posess ALL of the seven life processes - Movement, Reproduction, Sensitivity, Growth, Respiration, Excretion and Nutrition. This is an interesting experiment, but it no more creates life than rolling a ball. You made it move, but the ball is not alive.

the music...I think it's either "fiddlesticks", a music group, or a track off of the soundtrack for the movie "the work and the glory".

They'll eventually create basic life and evolve them to suit our microscopic needs.

Scientist had also created a cell that you can inject small amounts of drugs into and the cells are then injected into your bloodstream and can then be pop using sound waves. For Example: You have Cancer cells growing on a certain part of your body, you can focus the sound waves ( I think it was soundwaves) to deliver the drug to that spot and that spot only

scientist's arent trying to create life from oil, this was just an example of what they can already acheive. Scientist's have gotten all the components needed to make a cell and shocked it with a VERY VERY small amount of electricity, the cell shook but had no signs of life, they are hoping to create a man-made cell someday and bring it to life
