Is it possible to engineer, you are really talking about, like, engineering life at the chemistry level? No, i think you can do it at every level. I just think that we're particularly interested in chemistry because it's the origin f life transition. But presumably, everything that we do and build is example of life. And the question is, just how much do you want to take from things that we have now and put them into, like examples of life, and copy them into machines?
