There's already been "synthetic organisms" built ... Start with the DNA of a simple organism, edit the genetic code, then synthesize this new DNA and insert into a host cell who's DNA has been removed. I think we're still a long way from designing an organism from scratch though, as opposed to "editing" an existing one.
