Researchers create DNA structure

Building a synthetic organism could make people think about Frankenstein’s monster but when a research team announced that they had created the largest man made DNA structure, this puts them one step closer to being able to create a synthetic organism but we are only talking about micro organisms here.

But it would seem to be messing with nature, and even though the organisms are at the microscopic level they could multiply and turn into something that we could never have dared to eve think about or as they say just living cells from which nothing could grow from.

This research is fine, but what happens when the corporate sector gets involved and thing get taken out of their hands?
