Not sure if extracting DNA from a living cell and placing it into the cytoplasm of another cell constitutes ‘creating life’. Wouldn’t you need to start from scratch to qualify?

It is amazing however that we are seemingly so close to actually creating life in the Lab ..how close we don't know but it must happen before too long..I enjoy reading about the lastest steps forward by science in this area..and it has not been that long since the science of evolution has showed us how species evolve and the reasons they do...it is a pity it is still called "The Theory of Evolution" as so many uninformed folk blather..."oh it's only a tbeory" without a clue as to the meaning of a scientific theory and content to exhibit their ignorance...it would be better to call it..the scientific established fact we call evolution..truck loads of evidence so hardley a theory in the popular sense of the word.
Also what I find incredible is that we evolved from bacteria and if mitacondria had not come along there would still only be bacteria...no animals, us, or plants...all due to mitacondria appearing on the scene...
Moreover we are so lucky to live at time where we have so many branches of science to explain things that only a couple of centuries ago were totally unknown...it was not that long ago where illness was explained to demons...
With all the advances in science and technology the future certainly promises to be better than anything humans have ever experienced...it sure is a wonderful time to be alive.
I wonder what we will be able to do when we can create life in the Lab...maybe produce a better human being that has genes making it immune to illness and able to live thousands of years...maybe they will be able to 3d print a new body for you and just transfer your brain into a new model...or add a couple more arms..that would be handy...
In any event the video I posted is extrodinary stuff..to think they can do such things is incredible...science rules.
