Progress is being made in the effort to construct protocells from the basic chemicals in DNA.
"At least half a dozen other research teams around the world are going farther, trying to create life out of chemicals, mimicking the beginnings of life on Earth," reported the Nova Scotia News. "They're somewhere from three to 10 years from success, they figure." The article continues, "New man-made life forms mean new energy sources, environmental clean-up mechanisms and life-saving medicines. For others, such a breakthrough would mean understanding how life began on Earth by trying to recreate it."
While scientists make attempts with protocells, in Hollywood, Joan Rivers will soon cross the line into synthetic life after another series of plastic surgeries. Rivers, who died of natural causes three years ago, continues to host E!'s Red Carpet with her daughter Malissa.
