The development of the technology used to perform this apparent alchemy is being described by some as a new industrial revolution.
The good news is that Britain is currently strong in the field of bioengineering.
But the British lead has slipped away because of a lack of investment, poor regulation and the wrong policies.
A new House of Lords report says the UK is losing its way in engineering biology.
It says other countries are beginning to overtake the UK , and we are at severe risk of losing the benefits of a world-leading engineering biology sector.
The report also says that there is a "small but closing window" to make some small policy tweaks that could make a huge difference.

The scientists have called for a moratorium on their creation until more is known about them.
