Would it? Think ~ the pressure simply creates a condition where water molecules take the form of a double-helix. They, themselves, the water molecules, necessary for life BTW, exist.

By crushing the existence out of all the other molecules of whatever kind in the vicinity, you have your source for other materials to form appropriate base pairs.

How they would get into the new water molecule double-helix matrix I have no idea.

It is possible fully functional DNA or RNA springs to "life" fully formed and ready to roll ~

DNA is useless unless it has a cell to host it. The cell is useless unless it has DNA to regulate it. If life were to arise spontaneously, the conditions would have to be present to allow both pretty much simultaneously.

Besides, there's more to DNA than a double-helix of water. You also need all the good ol' ACTG, and it can't survive, let alone form, at the kinds of pressures and temperatures you're talking about.

Fail.
