Craig Venter: On the verge of creating synthetic life

“Can we create new life out of our digital universe?” Craig Venter asks. His answer is “yes” — and pretty soon. He walks through his latest research and promises that we’ll soon be able to build and boot up a synthetic chromosome. – From TED.COM

Fascinating and very thought provoking in my humble opinion. This research has generated  a lot of discussion and a great many questions. It’s potential is enormous. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Length: 16 minutes.
