| Syhnthetic Biology: It's Alive! |
| What makes something alive and where is the boundary between a machine and a life form? Can a system such as the internet be considered alive, since it is self-maintaining, self-reproducing and evolving? Can a cell that was created from whole cloth in the lab still be considered life? The speaker is creating "synthetic biology" - artificial living cells made of non-living material. |
