—A container, or membrane, for the cell to keep bad molecules out, allow good ones, and the ability to multiply.
—A genetic system that controls the functions of the cell, enabling it to reproduce and mutate in response to environmental changes.
—A metabolism that extracts raw materials from the environment as food and then changes it into energy.
Oh, is that all? Just an artificial cell membrane (only one of the most complex functioning biological systems known), a genetic system (one of the least understood biological systems), and a metabolic system(actually the mitochondria is believed to have been a seperate cell on it's own). That's like saying, "sure we can visit planets light years away. All we need is a propulsion system that can go the speed of light, a navigation system NOT based on the light of stars that originated hundreds of years earlier, and a water creation system for when we get there...but that's all."
