The scenario in which a scientist has created new life form, which never or could ever have existed is both scary and frightening.
Craig Venter – a man with a mission to destroy human life – has put synthetic genome into a empty cell then get the new cell to replicate. Things that replicate is the definition of life. Therefore this mad scientist has just done that. He has become a god!
Playing god must be great for your ego but it does have implications for future life. Anyone who has a passing interest in history will have gathered that military power is usually the first practical task for scientific knowledge. Therefore before long, probably in my lifetime, we will have human life destroyed by biological weapons developed from synthetic life forms.
Not wanting to beat about the bush, but this guy who has done this may have had his tummy tickled by being the man to create synthetic life form, but he has walked the first step to being the father of all human genocide. Well done that man and never let it be known that pride becomes before a fall.
Some people like to play god, some people act like gods and some people are gods, such as this crackpot of an individual. But having the power of life and death does bring its own responsibility. Its called humanity. I truly cannot believe that Craig Venter can be so proud of himself?
We know there are megalomaniacs out there who will want this technology for nothing more than power. There will be more megalomaniacs to be born. Once they can create new life forms they will want it to be their very own life form. A life form which they will approve of and a life form which will be ‘perfect’.
Get rid of the mess that is on Earth at the moment and hey presto, paradise!
I have always believed that science should never be prescribed. But, I have now come to the opinion after reading this story that I may have to re-think my belief. Very scary, very very scary indeed. Lackadaisical, laissez-faire approach to this business/technology/holocaust will not do! it cannot be allowed to happen and propagated. This is pure evil and will not benefit society because those with the urge to control life and humanity will use it for their advantage and their advantage alone. BEWARE!
