The birth of Artificial Life...few questions .

The controversial American scientist who a decade ago developed a remarkable
shortcut in mapping the human genome says he's now produced the first
version of synthetic life.He first time created a synthetic cell, controlled
by man-made genetic instructions, which can also reproduce itself.
According to experts, scientists have been altering DNA piecemeal for many
years, producing genetically engineered plants and animals, but the ability
to craft an entire organism offers a new power over life. However, the
achievement, documented in the journal Science, may stir nagging questions
of ethics, law and public safety about artificial life."

I have some questions regarding this . or Please give me some vision to see
the future of mankind

1.Is it a turning point in the relationship between man and nature ?
