From what i understand all living organisms are made up of cells and cells 
are "programmed" a certain way. By programmed i mean they do things like grow 
a certain way or make things a certain colour. If it were possible to adjust 
or "reprogram" cells to grow the way you want them to or evolve a certain way 
would it be possible to immitate life?
