On one hand this brings to mind all the sci-fi movies ever made and adds about two levels of creepy. If I understand this right they built the DNA for this from scratch. Sure its a copy of existing DNA, but how long till they start experimenting? It just sounds scary.
On the other hand, this might not be so bad. As scary as it sounds the article mentions other experiments that are going on. Also, note how they are calling a dividing cell life and naming the species. That makes it hard to turn around and call a newly conceived human anything but a living human.
