Ostensibly, the goal is to design a new living organism capable of turning raw materials into hydrogen to solve the world's energy problems. But success would bring extraordinary new possibilities for scientists to alter and augment the natural world, together with difficult ethical, security and philosophical questions about the nature of life. The work will be carried out at the Institute of Biological Energy Alternatives, Maryland.
