I recently read a newspaper article about how scientists are beginning to create synthetic life forms. This brings to mind the question, ‘what is life?’. Some critics say you can’t play God, for after all only God is responsible for giving life. Then I thought to myself, ‘If human can create life, do Buddhists have a problem with it?
What is Buddhists’ concept of life? Is there something behind the machine we call life 壽者相? Buddhists talk about non-self. Does it mean there is no ghost in the machine? Wouldn’t it be nice if there is an open forum where Buddhists of all persuasions could come together and explore this issue? Is it too big a dream?
