Peter McKnight: Craig Venter and the nature of life

Peter McKnight: Craig Venter and the nature of life: "Craig Venter may not be a god, but when he makes an announcement, the world shakes.

In 2000, the 'dazzling showman of science,' as he has been called, announced, together with U.S. National Institutes of Health scientist Francis Collins, a draft mapping of the human genome. So momentous was this announcement that not one but two world leaders -the U.S.'s Bill Clinton and the U.K.'s Tony Blair -felt the need to participate."
