"The resulting M. laboratorium bacterium is expected to be able to replicate itself with its man-made DNA, making it the most synthetic organism to date, although the molecular machinery and chemical environment that would allow it to replicate would not be synthetic."
Human are learning to "create" life by copying from the existing "life" and try to replace part of the life "parts". We can make a human brain with man-made body parts, limbs, heart, lung, blood etc. but we still cannot create a single cell. Philosophically, I belief that there is a understanding that life is not a product of non-living things. If this is belief is true, there is no way man can make life.
