38:20 Did Craig Venter indeed create synthetic life or he just changed the existing species?
47:11 maybe there are as many species on earth as there are different ca rules that exhibit DNA patterns of mechanical structure of an organism

55:35 What if the malaria parasite has some kind of function in biological systems that we're completely unaware of? This is the kind of thing I'm always wondering about.
