Will Man Create Life?

[NLN]

No, we most certainly have not created life yet. Cloning and standard sexual reproduction do not create new life. In both these cases we are recombining pre-existing, living cells to form a new creature. Creating life from scratch means combining non-living chemical elements in such a way that life emerges. This has yet to be done.

man already has. in 1970 a oil company was given a patent for bacteria that eats oil slicks

 

[NLN]

The patent you speak of was for modifying certain genes in an existing line of micro organism in order to change its natural function. Genetic modification is common today, but life still has yet to be made from scratch.
