Questions include: Does evolution move toward complexity or simplicity? - ​​​We should breed extremophile bacteria and algae to terraform planets by slowly exposing them to toxic atmospheres. ​​​- Can bacteria be diabetic? - ​​Did Craig Venter indeed create synthetic life, or did he just change the existing species? ​​- Maybe there are as many species on Earth as there are different CA rules that exhibit DNA patterns of the mechanical structure of an organism. ​​- The fact that you can edit genes makes me think that so much can be done to cure disorders and diseases. -  ​​What if the malaria parasite has some kind of function in biological systems that we're completely unaware of? This is the kind of thing I'm always wondering about.
