To remove any confusion about artificial life...?

1. Craig Venter created only artificial DNA out of aminoacids and inserted it into a natural bacterium
Because of a different DNA, the natural cell changed its behavior

The cytoplasm and membrane were never created by Craig Venter


2. This guy here

created a life-like organism

Some proteins have the power to absorb any liquid and gas inside them

3. A functioning membrane and cytoplasm with DNA genome were never created artificially

Full abiogenesis is still impossible
