A U.S. Strategy to Prevent the Creation of Mirror Life
- Scientific advances could lead to the creation of mirror life, a hypothetical form of life composed of molecules with reversed chirality relative to all known life on earth.
- The authors articulate the challenges of governing the development of mirror life and describe a strategy for the United States to prevent the creation of mirror life by anyone, anywhere.
- Mirror life is a hypothetical form of life built from biomolecules with the opposite chirality—or molecular orientation—of those used by all known life on earth.
