we hear people say that genetic engineering is "playing God" consider this....
If One is going to bring God into the equation then one must recognise the existence of God.. so in doing so, one must also acknowledge the possibility that God is responsible for giving us the knowledge and capabilities that we now have, so one must consider the possibilty that God has done so much and is now leaving us to our own devices to see what good we can do with our new found "powers" to better the human race... Isnt is credible that we use this knowlege of genetic engineering to actually create a future race that is free from, for example... cancer, schizophrenia, violence , ??? ? ...as well as being more physically and intellectually supreme than our current generations? after all..isnt that what EVERY species tries to achieve ? we could possibly be now in a position to actually "control" evolution.... so why NOT ? we could even, possibly...in the future ..develop our species (and others) to live in a less hospitable environment so that life on Earth could continue when the climate and evironmental conditions become such that they might otherwise make us extinct in our present state ?
