Show THE LIFE SPARK Studies in biology and bio-chemistry have developed many astounding facts, many of which have been of inestimable in-estimable value to mankind, but the ultimate goal of such research is to find the secret of the life spark itself, it-self, and produce it from inert matter. That this will some day be accomplished accom-plished is the belief of many distinguished distin-guished scientists, although this idea is flouted by those who hold to the traditional belief in the creation of all life by special acts of a Supreme Being. Prof. William Lash Miller, internationally interna-tionally known bio-chemist of the University Uni-versity of Toronto, has produced in his laboratory a component part of living matter, and his accomplishment accomplish-ment is hailed as one of epochal importance im-portance by many fellow-scientists. Just what significance may be attached at-tached to Prof. Miller's latest discovery dis-covery is somewhat difficult for a layman lay-man to judge, but it appears that it may mark a most important step toward to-ward the solution of the age-old question: What is life? |
