This may be the most interesting thing to happen in science since that apple caught Newton's attention. The only problem I can see is that the form of the "new" life will be so closely allied with the genetic structure of the experimental model that there may be some potential for crossover contamination. And, since the source organism lives in every human body, that constitutes a real turn of the roulette wheel. Which, I suppose, is why it SHOULD happen now, and with the strictest protocols under very bright lights.
As to the religious objections -- if there is a god (of any ilk), she put the possibility of this experiment into the original programming. We're just making it open source.
