Artificial Life Likely in 3 to 10 Years

According to scientists in the field, a major breakthrough in artificial life is likely to come in 3 to 10 years. Artificial life in this instance refers to creating life, protocells, in a petri dish using only chemicals found in DNA. This research may lead to man-made life forms that may assist in solving problems like finding a cure for cancer or getting rid of toxic waste and green house gases. If we could create a single cell from scratch that would be nothing short of amazing!
