Synthetic Humans?

Many of us now know about The Human Genome Project, which was an international research project in which the entire human genome was sequenced and all genes were identified and mapped. Well, last year a project was proposed that aimed to recreate the entire human genome--from scratch. This project is called The Genome Project - Write (GP-write). If successful, this project would lead to the creation of entire animal genomes (including humans, all 3 billion base pairs) by using the chemical components found inside these animals to signify which base pairs go where. There is much controversy over this project, especially ethically because would an organism created this way be real or would it be considered synthetic? I feel as though if the materials that make up the DNA are the same as those that make up the DNA of all other living things, then it would not justly be considered synthetic. However, one could argue that if it doesn't occur naturally, it isn't natural. What do you guys think?
