Likely they will just take bits and pieces of preexisting biological materials from living organisms and mix and match them together. They’ll then take a bow as if this is something astounding, that they personally created new life. In reality it’s not much different than taking an engine from a Chevy, various parts from other cars, and ‘creating’ a new automobile. Yes, it will be an accomplishment of sorts, and yes it is a challenge to build new cell membranes etc., but it is not the same as creating life. I’m really sick of hyped science and scientists who are trying to be rock stars.
