Every one is trying to pull them over the limit. Science has no limit and boundaries. What ever the story in Mahabhart and Ramayan, it seemed impossible story but coming to be true gradually, think who smart our ancestor were and we locked (limited) them in books and story.

Jawan, actually to purai artificial chai haina, they took DNA chain or something like that from another cell and were able to divide and grow in synthetic cell ho. Tara one day manchhay le , human jastai complex living thing na banayepani, bacteria and virus haru chai banauna sakchha hola. But manchhay ko jaat, Atom bomb banayera ta tetro nasta gare sakyo, jhaan testo biological weapon haru banayera, human race nai sakhaab paardinchha.

Truthspeaker, It is a totally synthetic they have created artificial bacterial genome in chemistry, sequenced in genome lab and transplanted in  into a recipient cell to produce a new self-replicating cell controlled only by the synthetic genome. it contains 582,970 base pair genome of a bacterium, Mycoplasma genitialium JCVI-1.0. If you want more information about it see the science update news. Do not be confused, In fact, it is artificially made.

I wouldn't consider it completely artificial. The hardest and weirdest part in any living organism is the life itself. Everything else, but life can be synthesized. Until these scientists can prove that they gathered bunch of elements/compounds and created life (be it a bacteria or whatever), I wouldn't consider it artificial bacteria (living).

Hi guys, If somebody ask you what is the most important part of life? what will be your answer? Respiration? Excretion? Reproduction? or what?  I would say Reproduction. Reproduction is the the only character why virus are considered as living things because virus can replicate by itself in host cell.  The new synthetic bacteria can replicate itself in host cell.  It has both positive and negative sides. Positive side: scientists can  develop vaccines and biological control mechanisms to control different diseases by utilizing this technology. Negative sides if the technology went to the terrorist it can be used to create the biological weapons.  Anyway, we should look its positive sides now it has considered as a great landmark in the history of discoveries.
