Yeah we just need to learn to program large scale DNA to be compatible with our own DNA code ... which we can't even read in a meaningful way ... I mean we can get the binary code, but we don't understand even a basic "if" instruction. Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's not going to happen tomorrow.
