Talk:Wet alife

Wet alife (a few aminoacids) is not even close to being alive. It does not exist. BatteryIncluded (talk) 23:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The field of wet ALife is not necessarily aimed at creating anything that is alive. Rather, like the more usual in silico ALife it is aimed at studying life by creating things that have something in common with it.  I'm actually not aware of any wet ALife studies that have focused on amino acids -- rather, the ones I've seen mostly involve the formation of lipid vesicles.

Wet ALife is a distinct field from synthetic life as its focus is more general. In terms of the logical relation between the two subjects it would be better to merge the Synthetic life article into this one rather than the other way around. Nathanielvirgo (talk) 13:58, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
