Scientist accused of playing God after creating artificial life by making designer microbe from scratch - but could it wipe out humanity? By Fiona Macrae UPDATED: 09:33 EST, 3 June 2010 Scientists today lined up to air their fears over a genome pioneer's claims that he has created artificial life in the laboratory. In a world first, which has alarmed many, maverick biologist and billionaire entrepreneur Craig Venter, built a synthetic cell from scratch. The creation of the new life form, which has been nicknamed 'Synthia', paves the way for customised bugs that could revolutionise healthcare and fuel production, according to its maker. But there are fears that the research, detailed in the journal Science, could be abused to create the ultimate biological weapon, or that one mistake in a lab could lead to millions being wiped out by a plague, in scenes reminiscent of the Will Smith film I Am Legend. Dr Venter created the lifeform by synthesising a DNA code and injecting it into a single bacteria cell. The cell containing the man-made DNA then grew and divided, creating a hitherto unseen lifeform.

Synthia was introduced to clean the Gulf of Mexico from the oil spill of April 20th, 2010, |
