But it's only people who live (and think) in clean room environs like computing that imagine biology is amenable to engineering. It's really not.
It's some people used to computing, it's some investors with a streak of optimism and it's some amateur pundits. Humans think in metaphors and "a machine" is one metaphor often used for life. It's not that good but the problem is pure vitalism is often the alternative and that's not good either.
