Creating Mirror Life: A Risky Venture or a Gateway to New Discoveries?

New Scientist. Science news and long reads from expert journalists, covering developments in science, technology, health and the environment on the website and the magazine.

The concept of creating mirror life, where every molecule is the mirror image of those found in normal cells, opens up a realm of possibilities for scientific exploration. This new form of life, never before seen on Earth, could revolutionize the fields of medicine and biology, providing insights into the origins and evolution of life itself.

However, a recent coalition of synthetic biologists and biosafety specialists has raised concerns about the potential risks associated with mirror life. They warn of “unprecedented risks” to global biodiversity and health if these organisms were to escape into the environment, leading to catastrophic consequences.

While the creation of mirror life remains a distant prospect, the debate over its ethical implications and safety measures is already underway. How can we ensure that the benefits of this groundbreaking research outweigh the potential risks?

Central to the concept of mirror life is the idea of chiral molecules, which exist in two mirrored forms with distinct properties. Despite their similarities, these molecules exhibit unique behaviors that could have profound implications for biological systems.
