Can we really create self replicators?

Hi,I think there is a long road to cover between these self-replicating molecules and living things. According to Kauffman's definition of life, there should be a notion of autonomous agent, which is not reached by artificial self-replicating molecules. This is not life.

Loudmouth greatings,As long as these molecule replications are randomized in a test tube without an own made membrane system whatever his composition, this will not be life.
Stuart Kauffman's definition include a "Agent" notion.One agent : one genetic material
