Scientists have managed to create a form of synthetic life in a Florida University, while it is still a long way from constituting natural life it is still a significant step towards that goal.
When NASA began thinking about missions to look for life beyond Earth, it realized it had a problem: how to recognize life if it were found. Scientists came up with a definition for life — a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution — but remained understandably fuzzy on the details. "
