    So the first human-made DNA is for a venereal disease... that is awesome.

    him: "No no really -- I caught it from a test tube at work!"
    her: "Whatever. Tube top maybe. My lawyer will be in touch."

    whats the final goal BTW?

    is it to make synthetic DNA to help in treating people with disease? or is it to create artificial life? which if it is, I think i'd have to ask why so much effort and money would be spent towards that.
