Scientists in a Harvard Medical lab (led by Jack Szostak) have been building cell models which are getting closer and closer to resembling life. The latest success has been getting genetic information inside the cells to replicate (one of the definitions of life). It is impossible to say where this science will lead to or what evolutionary path the life will follow, if created successfully, but needless to say, this is exciting research.
