Scientists close to creating 'mirror life' organisms
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 prospect is drawing attention because such organisms could evade the immune systems and natural predators of ordinary life, raising biosecurity concerns among scientists who have previously called for limits on mirror-molecule research.
Why now: A prominent science report on a major synthetic biology milestone is sparking discussion of its risks.
