Scientists in the US have succeeded in developing the first synthetic living cell.

The researchers constructed a bacterium's "genetic software" and transplanted it into a host cell.

The resulting microbe then looked and behaved like the species "dictated" by the synthetic DNA.

The advance, published in Science, has been hailed as a scientific landmark, but critics say there are dangers posed by synthetic organisms.

The team hopes eventually to design bacterial cells that will produce medicines and fuels and even absorb greenhouse gases.

You can create as many she-males as you want, it still won't help you lose your virginity. :V
