Mirror Life

A hypothetical self-replicating form of life built from mirror-image versions of the chiral molecules used by ordinary biology. No complete mirror organism is known to exist, and proposed research controls focus on preventing its creation because its interactions with immune systems and ecosystems could be unusually difficult to predict or contain.
