Living organisms are just robots, we are powered by bioelectricity that involves the release of sodium, potassium, and calcium electrolyte ions that are produced in chemical reactions involving oxygen, water, fat, carbohydrates and protein to produce adenosine triphosphate that ionizes the sodium, potassium, and calcium to generate the positively charged ions that are stored in our cells which behave like capacitors, discharging the ions to power the organelles of the cells and perform various actions. We are also made of metal: we have calcium and our bones, iron in our blood, and a non-metallic mineral called carbon in our tissues that can be turned into a metal by mixing it with iron to produce steel. We are also programmed by a code called deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA that determines our mental and physical characterstics though our minds and bodies can be programmed by the input data of environmental stimuli in phenomenon called neuroplasticity and phenotypic plasticity. Our genetic code can also be mutated by the environment in a phenomenon called epigenetics and by mutagens such as viruses, chemicals, and radiation. Though we have free will because humans have a high degree of neuroplasticity which gives us a higher degree of freedom in re-programming our brain circuits.
The first organic life forms self-assembled from organic molecules in a primordial soup which formed into DNA and then into organelles and finally microbes which evolved into complex multi-cellular life forms which kept evolving and programming ourselves until we became intelligent enough to program AI.
Our minds are just data in our hydrocarbon CPUs which are run by electricity. The constant flow of electric current is what makes us feel alive. If it stops, we are dead but it can be switched on again using defibrillators and CPR which were invented by William B. Kouwenhoven in 1928 and adrenaline, anticoagulants, and oxygenated blood which was invented by Robert Cornish in 1934.
Creating synthetic life is not an impossibility and people are free to do whatever they want because the laws of physics have almost no restrictions on what can be done. The only impossibilities are being in 2 or more places at once, 2 or more objects in the same place at once, travel backwards in time, and creating something out of nothing because matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed but only change form.
Organic synthetic viruses have also already been invented by Eckard Wimmer in 2002, and in 2010, John Craig Venter creates a synthetic bacteria called Mycoplasma Laboratorium.
