http://www.ted.com « Can we create new life out of our digital universe? » asks Craig Venter. And his answer is, yes, and pretty soon. He walks the TED2008 audience through his latest research into « fourth-generation fuels » — biologically created fuels with CO2 as their feedstock. His talk covers the details of creating brand-new chromosomes using digital technology, the reasons why we would want to do this, and the bioethics of synthetic life. A fascinating Q&A with TED’s Chris Anderson follows (two words: suicide genes).
