J CRAIG VENTER IS THE MOST PROVOCATIVE SCIENTIST TODAY. In March 2013 he announced that he was close to hacking life and creating an artificial bacterium from scratch. His view is that life forms are DNA driven software devices; the genetic code has four bases, and the digital code two letter: they are very similar, he believes. If successful in creating new life using banks of computers, Craig will have opened a door to powerful goals of genetic engineering, including manufacturing biofuels in bugs and making bugs that eat toxins. This remarkable man is on a roll.
