He said his administration overreacted by forcing her out.

Subject: The Human Genome and Reverence for Life in the Age of Cosmic Genealogy



The J. Craig Venter Institute recently announced the successful creation of a synthetic bacterium, prompting comprehensive review by the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical issues - with findings and recommendations to be reported within six months to President Barack Obama. On May 27, 2010, the U. S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce held hearings entitled "Developments in Synthetic Genomics and Implications for Health and Energy."



"Given the importance of this issue, I request that the Commission consult with a range of constituencies, including scientific and medical communities, faith communities, and business and nonprofit organizations." - President Barack Obama.



Creation of synthetic bacteria in the age of cosmic genealogy on Earth has far-reaching meaning and import ranging from human genomics and reverence for life to all spectra of bioscience and biophilosophy. (In 1859, Louis Pasteur's pivotal work in disproving spontaneous generation of life began the age of cosmic genealogy on Earth, increasingly more pronounced in modern times owing to emergent astrobiology (merging biology and astronomy) as pioneered and led by the late Sir Fred Hoyle, by Chandra Wickramasinghe, Brig Klyce, Halton C. Arp, and others.)



"Craig Venter's successful implantation of a digitally determined genome sequence into a bacterium has been widely reported (29 May, p 6). Now imagine a future where a successor to Venter is able to digitally reconstruct a set of the best possible sequences of human genomes and incorporate them, in pieces, into bacteria that could autonomously reproduce the sequences.

If these bacteria were then launched into space, the fragmented genome could be reassembled on countless habitable planets in the galaxy. This would be a process similar to that outlined in the theory of directed panspermia proposed in 1973 by Francis Crick and Leslie Orgel (Icarus, vol 19, p 341).

Carried on comets, these bacteria could travel from one planetary system to the next, where the genome could reproduce. The legacy of human life could then be thought to have been given an eternal existence in the cosmos." - Intergalactic Legacy (New Scientist, 9 June 2010) by Chandra Wickramasinghe, Director, Cardiff Centre for Astrobiology.

"The first message from an intelligent extraterrestrial civilisation may not emerge from a radio telescope but, instead, from a DNA sequencing machine." - John Walker, Fourmilab Switzerland.

"Life comes from space because life comes life." - Brig Klyce, Astrobiology Research Trust.

"The greatest discoveries of science have always been those that forced us to rethink our beliefs about the universe and our place in it." - Robert L. Park, University of Maryland (in The New York Times, 7 December 1999).



In keeping with the promise and gift of intelligent life, universal forelaws of empathy and compassion - empirical attributes of cosmic genealogy seated within the genome of humankind and all intelligent life - expressly highlight and define reference for life underlying: evolutionary panaltruism and human unity, the age of cosmic genealogy on Earth, the cosmic community of intelligent life, and intelligent life reciprocally propagated from infinity to infinity by intelligent life. www.forelawsonboard.net/
