Artificial viral life that reproduces (more). Yeah, that could go very, very very, bad if we're not insanely careful. Emphasis on insane all around. Admittedly Phi-X (the virus they built) is pretty safe and well understood, but given that it eats bacteria I figure we should be careful. Incidentally they say that building human-like creatures from scratch will take about five years.
