scientists copy a living being's genome and make 'copy cat' artificial life from scratch

Life’s First Spark Re-Created in the Laboratory[news 21 st may 2010] BUT THEY CANNOT GET COPY RIGHT FOR THIS COPY

COPYING A LIVING BACTERIA'S GENOME AND MAKING USE OF CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL AND GENETIC KNOWLEDGE TO MAKE A LIFE FROM SCRATCH IS AN ACHIEVEMENT .
BUT ASKING FOR  'COPY RIGHT' OF A LIVING BEING'S GENETIC CODE IS NOT ALLOWED AND ILLEGAL,ESPECIALLY WHEN SUCH AN ARTIFICIAL LIVING BEING MADE OUT OF THIS COPIED GENOME OF A BACTERIA OR MAN IS USED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSE


NOW THE SCIENTIST WHO MADE THIS ARTIFICIAL LIVING BEING  OR LIVING CELL; IS ASKING FOR COPY RIGHT CLAIMS ;TO USE IT TO MAKE ARTIFICIAL ALGAE ,WHICH IN TURN WILL ABSORB CARBON DIOXIDE FROM ATMOSPHERE ,AND WHICH IN TURN WILL BE USED FOR MAKING ENERGY BY PETROLEUM COMPANIES LET ME POINT OUT UNLESS A SCIENTIST MAKE AN ORIGINAL GENOME AND NOT A GENOME COPIED FROM SOME PRE EXISTING LIVING BACTERIA OR ALGAE OR HUMAN BEING ;HE CANNOT CLAIM OWNER SHIP OF SUCH A COPIED ARTIFICIAL LIVING CELL AND /OR AN ARTIFICIAL HUMAN BEING MADE FROM COPIED GENOME

• COMPARISONS WITH GEORGE ORWELL'S NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR

Social critic Neil Postman contrasts the worlds of Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World in the foreword of his 1985 book Amusing Ourselves to Death. He writes:

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us.

 LUCKILY THE ORIGINAL CREATOR CALL HIM GOD OR NATURE IS NOT AFTER MONEY  SO THE ORIGINAL CREATOR IS NOT GOING TO CONTEST IN A COURT WITH SMALL FRY COPY CAT SCIENTISTS ABOUT COPYRIGHT CLAIMS
HOPE THIS IS NOT THE BEGINNING OF MONSTERS  LIKE FRANKENSTEIN IN THE MAKING BY SCIENTISTS


Last and First Men 

BEGINNING OF THE END?SYNTHETIC LIFE/TERRORISTS&HACKERS

Craig Venter and Hamilton Smith, the two American biologists who unravelled the first DNA sequence of a living organism (a bacterium) in 1995, have made a bacterium that has an artificial genome—creating a living creature with no ancestor 


[1]
 BUT WE HAVE A NATURAL TENDENCY TO MAKE ANY INVENTION INTO DESTRUCTIVE MODE
 WHEN THE FIRST CAR WAS MADE IN 1885  THE FIRST USE WAS TO USE IN WAR 
SIMILARLY WHEN THE FIRST PLANE WAS MADE IN 1903 IMMEDIATELY IT WAS USED IN FIRST WORLD WAR (1914) FOR BOMBING 
[2]
Creating something bad deliberately, whether the creator is a teenage hacker, a terrorist or a rogue state, is a different matter.
[3]
Regulation—and, especially, vigilance—will still be needed;TO Encourage the good to outwit the bad and, with luck, you keep Nemesis at bay.HOPE SO 
 [4]
BUT THERE IS 50-50 CHANCE THE TERRORISTS,THE HACKERS AND CROOKS OUT TO MAKE  EASY MONEY; WILL USE THIS DISCOVERY TO MAKE ARTIFICIAL/SYNTHETIC  LIFE; TO THREATEN HUMAN LIFE OR ALL LIFE ON EARTH AT SOME TIME IN FUTURE
[5]
SUCH PSYCHOPATHS CAN THREATEN TO WIPE OUT WHOLE MANKIND USING A NEW VIRULENT VIRUS .SUCH TERRORISTS CAN  REVIVE AN EXTINCT VIRUS LIKE SMALL POX VIRUS USING THIS MEHTOD TO WIPE OUT HUMAN LIFE 
 THESE MAD PEOPLE CAN MAKE A VIRUS,OR BACTERIA TO INFECT THE AGRICULTURE AND CAUSE WIDE SPREAD FAMINE 
 THE POSSIBILITIES OF SUCH SICK MINDED PEOPLE DESTROYING LIFE FOR MONEY OR A PARTICULAR CAUSE IS PRESENT NOW MORE THAN BEFORE 
 FOR EXAMPLE AUM SHINRIKYO A TERRORIST ORGANISATION OF JAPANA wanted poster in Japan. As of February 2010, three people are still wanted in connection with the Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway:
 WANTED TO DESTROY ALL HUMAN LIFE WITH POISON A hydrogen cyanide device which, had it not been extinguished in time, would have released enough gas into the ventilation system to potentially kill 20,000 commuters WAS USED BY THIS MAD SECT 
[6]
CHANCES OF HIJACKING  AND TAKING OVER OF LABS DOING ARTIFICIAL LIFE RESEARCH BY TERRORISTS TO PRODUCE LIFE THREATENING VIRUSES AND BACTERIA IS ANOTHER POSSIBILITY
ANOTHER DANGER TO LIFE IS UNWANTED OR UNFORESEEN EFFECTS OF SYNTHETIC LIFE FOR EXAMPLE A VIRUS OR BACTERIA MADE ARTIFICIALLY FOR MAKING VACCINE MAY CAUSE REACTIONS,DEATH,OR WILL BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE DUE ANY REASON CAUSING WORLD WIDE PANIC AND DEATH
[7]NOW THE ARTIFICIAL LIFE GOING TO BE PRODUCED IS ONLY BACTERIA AND VIRUS AND SIMILAR SIMPLE LIFE 
BUT LATER DEFINITELY COMPLEX ORGANISMS LIKE BIRDS,ANIMALS AND FINALLY AN ARTIFICIAL MAN WILL BE PRODUCED 
QUESTIONS OF A REAL MAN MARRYING A LAB MADE WOMAN ,QUESTIONS OF CHILDREN BORN OUT 
OF THIS MARRIAGE ; MANY MANY CONFUSING THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN IN A FEW YEARS TIME 
FROM NOW
 
Professor Ishiguro (r) stresses the importance of appearance in his robots 
A LOT OF LEGAL ASPECTS WILL ARISE THEN WHETHER TO HAVE MILK
 FROM AN LAB MADE COW?IS IT SAFE?






CAN WE EAT A LAB MADE CHICKEN?

Genetically modified food:-

THESE QUESTIONS ARE EVEN NOW VALID ABOUT BT COTTON[Bt Cotton is produced by inserting a synthetic version of a gene from the naturally occurring soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, into cotton. The primary reason this is done is to induce the plant to produce its own Bt toxin to destroy the bollworm, a major cotton pest. The gene causes the production of Bt toxin in all parts of the cotton plant throughout its entire life span. When the bollworm ingests any part of the plant, the Bt cotton toxin pierces its small intestine and kills the insect.]Gene flow to wild relatives:
As Bt crops are grown close to their wild relatives, it is highly possible that the Bt gene can spread to the wild relatives through pollen transfer. The new genes in the wild plants may produce enough toxins to ward off insects that normally feed on them. Some of the wild plants could grow hardier and act as weeds in the fields. This technology also leads to contamination of other species, as the transgenic plants displace other plants.

 AND BT FRUITS AND BT VEGETABLES AND BT FOOD CROPS :-

• On August 18, 2006, American exports of rice to Europe were interrupted when much of the U.S. crop was confirmed to be contaminated with unapproved engineered genes, possibly due to accidental cross-pollination with conventional crops.
• On February 9, 2010, Indian Environment Minister, Jairam Ramesh, imposed a moratorium on the cultivation of GMF "for as long as it is needed to establish public trust and confidence". His decision was made after protest from several groups responding to regulatory approval of the cultivation of Bt Brinjal, a GM eggplant in October, 2009.
•  NOBODY KNOWS WHETHER GENETICALLY ALTERED FOOD IS SAFE FOR HUMAN HEALTH
• SIMILARLY NOBODY KNOWS THE NEW LAB MADE ARTIFICIAL LIFE WILL KILL US OR HELP US 

LIVING WITH YOUR CLONE -- HE IS YOUR TWIN AND YOUR SON SAME TIME

THE FOLLOWING STRANGE "MAN MADE MEN"  ARE ALREADY POSSIBLE :-There are two commonly discussed types of human cloning:

 therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning. Therapeutic cloning involves cloning cells from an adult for use in medicine and is an active area of research, while reproductive cloning would involve making cloned humans. Such reproductive cloning has not been performed and is illegal in many countries. A third type of cloning called replacement cloning is a theoretical possibility, and would be a combination of therapeutic and reproductive cloning. Replacement cloning would entail the replacement of an extensively damaged, failed, or failing body through cloning followed by whole or partial brain transplant.It is only a matter of time, months or a very few years before human cloning is a reality for anyone with enough cash, willing to take the risks of a hideously malformed or emotionally damaged child.

Just think how attractive that could be to some dictator(eg Hitler) who fancies the idea of watching himself growing up, or dreams of populating the world with a new race of genetically superior people.

We now have the technology to take a few cells from a modern day Einstein, or a musical genius or a child prodigy 

Emotional risks - child grows up knowing her mother is her sister, her grandmother is her mother. Every time her mother looks at her she is seeing herself growing up. 

What happens to a marriage when the "father" sees his wife's clone grow up into the exact replica (by appearance) of the beautiful 18 year old he fell in love with 35 years ago? A sexual relationship would of course be with his wife's twin, no incest involved technically.

Genes from humans are already working in microbes, fish, rabbits, mice, pigs, sheep and cows. Some of these humanised pigs may be providers of heart transplants in the future.

Will humonkeys be recognised as morally responsible individuals before the law if they are able to talk?

We need an urgent UN-sponsored global summit on biotechnology followed by international agreement. Either we control gene technology today, or gene technology will redesign us by tomorrow.

[1] CLONE=a group of identical genes, cells, or organisms derived from a single ancestor.

ALREADY SHEEP(DOLLY)   WAS CLONED AND DIEDSome have speculated that a contributing factor to Dolly's death was that she could have been born with a genetic age of six years, the same age as the sheep from which she was cloned

[A Finn Dorset such as Dolly a life expectancy of around 11 to 12 ]
