A New Era In Science: "Synthia" The First Synthetic Life Is Created

When will people realise that scientists don't know what they are doing? This is very dangerous! GM foods are proven dangerous but they are still used. Mobile phones are proven dangerous to the brain causing tumours, yet they are still used. Vaccines have been known to be dangerous for at least 150 years, they are not banned!

The scientists are like moronic children experimenting and by so doing they are endangering our lives. The scientists have no common sense!

The reason is people make too much money form human suffering. War is profitable, which is one reason it happens, but also for the genocide as population control.

It never stops, does it.

Interesting tidbit : "and faster vaccine production" very nice indeed. How about getting this shit added to mercury and other nice ingredients and having it injected for your own good.

Pretty cool stuff. When will we grow our first Cylon?

They won't be happy till nature is totally subjugated.

There is a great evil spirit known as the devil, Satan, Lucifer etc. that uses the scientists inventions to destroy and enslave humanity and nature. This has the potential to be just as bad as nuclear weapons because nature has no defense against it. Scientists are moral morons. They have no sense of morality and they tend to be very incompetent and make stupid mistakes like allowing a vial of contagious/infectious bacteria to get shipped to the wrong people or dropping it on the floor and letting it get on their clothes. They're just used by evil humans and demonic entities and the devil to enslave the earth.

I have no real axe to grind with anyone, but lets be honest. . This "stuff" will get out into the "real world" no matter how much they try for it not to. . As brilliant as most scientists are, most lack "real world" sensibility. .That's the up side, the other possibility They are in fact trying to prove their own hypothesis that everything "evolved" and there is no God. . Life to them is something you can control, which is an illusion. . Will it be a good thing, or a bad thing? Depends on your point of view I believe..

How convenient....that new film with Adrian Brody and some chick, with a bio-engineered critter that goes on a killing rampage. Perfect timing, don't you think?

If these scientists want to do something useful, why don't they think of a way to get rid of mosquitos and termites?

The crucified planet Earth,
should it find a voice
and a sense of irony,
might now well say
of our abuse of it,
"Forgive them, Father,
They know not what they do."

The irony would be
that we know what
we are doing.

When the last living thing
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if Earth could say
--from "A Man Without a Country"

...if Earth could say,
in a voice floating up
perhaps
from the floor
of the Grand Canyon,
“It is done.”
People did not like it here.

Edgar Cayce had a lot to say about what is occurring now. (Look him up.) Something to the effect that this is the first time since the great flood(s) that civilization has once again reached a level of technology where karmic influences match the reincarnating souls of Atlantis needs. They are coming in great numbers now. It will be our choices on the light or dark side of matters that will determine if mankind moves up or once again falls back. We are in word and deed our brothers keepers. Will we seek protection by a few in positions of power to continue the status or will we stand and insist on our right to be. All will be revealed. The golden rule does apply. It might be we do not see, we are responsible for our world. The ego is another word for separation. Build with positive intention and be governed by ideals, and we will make it to a new and better age. Life is energy and never defeated.

As a friend, I think you really should:

*get some remedial Science education.
*read some Research papers about the topics you have discussed.

This appears purely to be manipulation of already living material. This is not creating life. Let's see what they can do with a bunch of in-organic compounds? If Man ever creates life it will only prove that it takes wisdom not eons to create life. Run this to it's ultimate conclusion..........

I agree,,, we are fools to think this is a new discovery, it has more than likely just been De-classified... crazy

I think it's spectacular!! There is a down side to every thing. Show me one thing that doesn't have consequences using vaccination as an example is silly look the people that didn't die from catching a horrible disease that is now curable by vaccination their quality of life is much less than others that were vaccinated you should ask them the ones that cannot walk or those who can't see, ask them if they could have had a shot to prevent it from happening to them. What do you think their answer would be? Or better yet ask the mom or the child that is dying in a hospital because they can't find a match for her child's kidney but we have the way to produce one with out having to wait for the death of another, what do you think the mom would say? Or even the child that would have the chance at life... Being scared is OK but not allowing thing to happen because of your fear is not using common sense. If scientist are smart enough to create it then they will find a way to control it if some thing bad did happen. I say we go forward and stop looking at the what ifs. Cause you could be the what if it is your love one it saves from dying or suffering...
"What if?" God gave these scientist the ability to figure out how to create Synthetic cells for a reason so what is to say that it isn't the person that is trying to stop them is the one who is trying to play God??

... was specifically in response to the second comment, "Insane!", but could apply to a lot of things said here. I suppose this kind of fear-mongering and dark age thinking is the other result of being part of a society where we have enough to eat and kids don't die at outrageous rates from preventable diseases. Besides, yennow, the having enough to eat and the kids not dying.

Google 'Nick Bostrom', delve into some intellectual realms, do some critical thinking. If you're even reading this site, chances are you're at least more intelligent than probably about 90% of the population. DNA controls the actions of everything. It's all about reproduction, baby, 'cause: something, somewhere, needs to 'live' through us. Something needs humans to 'make choices', (to provide it with a moral code?).

Our electromagnetic brainwaves are monitered by a 'higher being', for what purposes it is difficult to imagine. COLOR (nanometer wavelength) is how it is done.

DNA has a 'book' written in it. It's not junk, it's a message or a story. One day, one person will break the code. Humanity awaits the next Einstein.

hear, hear

I feel that it is only right to point out some of the basic flaws in your logic, and how they affect your reasoning.
Firstly, while it is true that you can find reports of vaccines causing side effects, such cases are not statistically significant - that is to say, they fast such a vast minorty that it is almost not worth considering them - I myself have felt ill after vaccines, but that's because they are giving you an attenuated version of the illness to stimulate a passive primary immune response within your body, and your body will deal with the bacteria within hours! It is mostly the media who make vaccinations appear dangerous - the MMR scare was caused when the media reported autism in a statistically significant proportion of 12 children. To be clear, 12 children does not make a good sample size for a scientific study.Think how many children were diagnosed with any of the MMR trio in the resulting downturn of immunisation
Secondly, many studies have shown that mobile phones do give off microwave radiation - however, other studies have proven that this radiation is not at a wavelength/frequency capable of ionising the cells in the human body - they are not dangerous.
These scientists are not like "moronic children". Their work has monumental implications for medicine - we could finally develop a working system of genetic therapy to fight cancers, immunodificiencies and other genetic disorders, and JCVI-sync1.0 (Synthia) has made a lot of that possible. And don't worry - if the terrorists do get a hold of Synthia, they can't do anything with a single replicating cell with barely enough genetic material to support life. It took us 15 years of research to get this far, and I don't think Osama Bin Laden has had either the time or resources to do the same, hiding in a cave in the mountains.

I have foreseen this in my visions. And they are never wrong. I see wars and men in radioactive resistant suits. Laser weapons. Other creatures are beside them in battle. But everyone except eight people will survive in the end. What's worse...they are all male. :I

Before I say anything let me frame my mindset: I am not a conspiracy theorist. I don’t think that paranoid conspiracy theories are of any help. I am tired of hearing how vaccines are a bad thing and cell phones cause brain cancer.
Having said that, this article is one of the scariest things I’ve ever read. No legislating body will be able to keep up with this technology. No corporation will be able to keep their hands off this if the feel like they can get in the game. Thousands of scientists motivated by money and fame will race on this track. Hundreds of large corporations in all industrial fields will get into this game. The pressure to compete will be huge and the speed they’ll churn out new products will eventually get to be nothing short of amazing. Any large software product in existence (be that from Microsoft or Adobe or any other producer) has hundreds if not thousands of bugs – mostly with low impact that manifest very rarely. This industry will be similar (only worse) when it comes to small defects that will occur in their products. There is no way humans be able to stop the disasters this spells. This is the dawn of a new era – that of a new type of pollution. One that potentially can be a lot more dangerous that what we consider today pollution.

Scientists are mad after inventing anything to satiate their appetite for invention. Most of them have no idea about good and bad, they are just playing with fire. What is wrong with this life, why do they want to invent something different? campaign buttons

It is hard to believe them about their invention of synthetic life. How could it be possible? If it is true, will it be good for human beings or will it be a doom. Eviction Process

I am undecided whether to be happy or not. But, one thing is certain about the invention that it would cause much worry for humans on different counts. I think it would encourage the atheists to argue for vague things. used auto parts

after the discovery i agreed there is no god. we are god.
