Scientists Planning to Make New Form of Life

[klah]

Scientists say they will attempt to create a new form of life in the laboratory.

Their intent is to create a single-celled, partially man-made organism with the minimum number of genes necessary to sustain life. If the experiment works, the microscopic man-made cell will begin feeding and dividing to create a population of cells unlike any previously known to exist.

I don't understand why they would want to do this.

Those are not "cures." They're vaccines. There's a big difference. We didn't invent or create anything to do that, more like a discovery that one of God's creations could be used against another.
