Researchers have reported advances in their attempts to synthesize life from scratch in a test-tube—bringing non-living matter to life. In the lab, they have been able to produce ‘protocells’ from fatty molecules that can spontaneously trap pieces of nucleic acids that possess the code for replication and metabolism. With continued progress, protocells may be synthesized that form self-replicating, evolving system that satisfy the conditions of life.       Consider the scientific understanding that may be generated from this project. What scientific questions might the knowledge generated from this project help answer?           Reflect on the broader significance of this work. What objections might be raised about this line of research?
