BBC World Service Programmes Discovery - BBC Posted: 04 Nov 2009 02:31 AM PST Synthetic biology is a new science. A fusion of engineering and bioscience, it enables researchers to design entirely new biological systems or redesign existing ones. So far, scientists have managed to re-engineer small life forms, especially bacteria. Because bacteria are relatively simple structures, it's possible to redesign them so that they take on different characteristics and behaviours. But making fundamental changes to existing life forms or designing entirely new ones raises all sorts of practical and ethical questions. Those who support the new science say that synthetic biology could bring huge benefits to mankind in various fields including healthcare, energy and the environment. The technology could be used to develop biosensors to monitor patients' health. It could also help us develop more efficient biofuels. If synthetic cells could be designed that enable us to improve the ratio of oil to biomass, we could both increase yields and reduce carbon emissions. On the other hand, many people are uncomfortable with the idea of making "new life" that might behave in "new ways". What if those new behaviours turn out to be unpredictable, or have unforeseen effects on existing life forms? Science journalist Richard Hollingham investigates synthetic biology. He meets some of the scientists who are designing "new life". He visits the new Centre for Synthetic Biology and Innovation at Imperial College London. Richard also talks to biologist and entrepreneur Craig Venter whose research team has recently transformed one species of bacteria into another by gene transplantation. Richard also discusses some of the moral and ethical issues raised by the creation of synthetic life, and asks if a new regulatory framework is needed that both protects the public and provides scientists with unambiguous boundaries for their work.
