(don't know which ones are most credible)
A fully synthesized genome transforms one species of bacterium into another.
WOW!! Attack of the biological weapons! I guess they figured out how to replicate the "SPARK OF LIFE" right?

(wait, I'm confused!)

Hahaha! Scepticals!

Didn't I tell you months ago? Aliens of course! Pecca Fucking is one of those behind this. And he is also among the godfathers. You can read his name on the list. Haha!
BIRTHANNOUNCEMENT.
Born: A little syntetic babycell-a very simple Bacterium-that can reproduce itself.
Parents: Some Motherchemicals and a Papacomputer.
Genesis: The guys made a copy of existing chromosomes and put it in a living cell. Elementary.

The fantastic Frankenstein-effect was that this cell could use the synthetic heredity-mass and that it needs it for producing new little cell-babies.
The door is now wideopen, and noone knows what in hell will come out of this Pandora-box in the long run. Or what awaits this newborn. Will it be "a good step for mankind?" OR?

Sorry Stratowarius, my mom dropped me on my head multiple times when I was a child.
