Re: Trivial?
Replicators have been made, yes. And viruses have been produced completely artificially. Although these things can replicate they're not normally considered 'life' - however, next year a group (who's name I forget but could probably track down) intends to create an artificial bacterium.
​
In all probability by the end of 2005 humans will have created their first completely artificial life.
