Research: NY Times: Scientists hold secret meeting to consider creating a synthetic human genome

EXCERPT
Scientists are now contemplating the creation of a synthetic human genome, meaning they would use chemicals to manufacture all the DNA contained in human chromosomes.
The prospect is spurring both intrigue and concern in the life sciences community, because it might be possible – if someone were able to create a totally artificial genome – to implant that genome into embryos and create human beings without parents.
