Considering the first sentence is, "Scientists in the US have succeeded in developing the first living cell to be controlled entirely by synthetic DNA", it's really hard to argue against it. So yes scientists can create artificial life. Whether you're suggesting intelligent life though, is a completely separate matter. Side: Yes

No. According to this article a DNA chain has been assembled from already existing components and successfully placed in an already existing live cell. This is like assembling a Buick from spare parts in a junkyard, then claiming it to be a new car, created from nothing. ------------ Nope 😆 Side: No
Agreed, but the article is from 2010 and science has come along way since. Side: Yes
