The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or NAMBLA, seems to have used up all its good ideas on the whole "creating the Internet" thing. Because their latest idea of creating immortal bacteria seems a tad bit stupid.
Sure, we can make cells that live forever. Possible danger to the rest of life on earth? No problem! We'll just put in a gene that makes it instantly die if it touches a particular molecule.
Like that won't evolve out of the life form in 2 generations.
I'm sure DARPA has done some cool stuff, even lots of cool stuff. But the media keeps digging up these crazy irresponsible schemes. At least that means they get shut down. I hope.
