I think the more interesting question will be when we are able to synthesize proteins, rather than actually create cells, in any event. I can't count the number of times my GF has complained about some problem her experiments were having (she's an immunologist) and I've suggested 'isn't there a protein that does blah' and she said no ... many things would be solved if she could make proteins instead of having to work with what nature gave her
