And let us know about how you were successful in "re-creating" life?

Ha, ha :)
Yes, a modern day Frankenstein!
Yes, well, I think it will eventually be possible for a person to be created by combining molecules to form a genotype, placing them in an ovum and allowing nature to take its course in growth and development of the phenotype (body) and the programming of the brain through normal interaction with the environment as the body grows. What purpose this would serve I do not know.
However, to create a fully grown person and program the brain without the usual environmental interaction, would, I think, prove extremely difficult, if not completely impossible. I don't think we will see it in our lifetime, fortunately.
