The only one playing god is the man with the gun.   stance: agree:
I hear all too often that science is 'playing God'. We as a species have superceeded the need for natural selection. We must control our evolution to ensure our survival. Ever since 1999 we have decoded the human genome, and it is time we manipulate it. Our stability as a society has allowed the meek to prosper, not to say that this is bad, but it has proven damning to our condition. We grow ever weaker as we use advanced medication to suffice our ailments to the point that we are not aware of our declination. The only fortitude is in our ability to plan our evolution. If god did not intend us to do so, he is nearsighted. If god wishes us to stop, he is inhumane.

To play god is to assume the state of mind of supreme judgement. Judgement that self-validates the terms of life, and the value thereof. To play god is to take life. The only one playing God is the man with the gun.
