Scientists edge closer to creating 'mirror life'
Original: It may soon be possible to create "mirror life"
The Economist reports that synthesising 'mirror life' — organisms built from mirror-image versions of life's molecules — may soon become technically possible. The idea has drawn attention because such organisms would be radically different from natural life, raising concerns among scientists about unforeseen risks to health and ecosystems, and prompting calls for precaution before anyone attempts it.
Why now: New reporting suggests advances in synthetic biology are bringing mirror-image organisms within reach, raising safety debates.
