Pentagon draws plans for immortal ’synthetic organisms’

"BioDesign eliminates the randomness of natural evolutionary advancement primarily by advanced genetic engineering and molecular biology technologies to produce the intended biological effect," the DARPA document states.

The agency says it wants to develop "a robust understanding of the collective mechanisms that contribute to cell death" so as to "enable a new generation of regenerative cells that could ultimately be programmed to live indefinitely."

A bad call in the engineering of the DNA in these synthetic organism could potentially wipe out the entire human race.
