Scientists edge closer to creating 'mirror life' organisms
Original: It may soon be possible to create "mirror life"
A new report suggests that creating 'mirror life' — synthetic organisms built from mirrored versions of biological molecules — may soon become scientifically possible. The prospect is drawing attention because such organisms could evade immune systems and natural biological controls, raising concerns about biosecurity and calls for precautionary regulation before the technology matures.
Why now: New scientific reporting on the feasibility of mirror-image synthetic organisms has raised concerns about biosecurity risks.
