The concern that one might be 'playing god' is apperently just stupid talk for: "hey, you are trying to control a massive and highly chaotic system using one variable. This is stupid." Or, at least, it should be.
For instance: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/16/bill-gates-envisions-figh_n_235527.html The best anyone can say on the topic is: "don't play God"
Hey, just a thought: Do you realize that noone has ever 'played God' without the direct application of cutting edge science? Is this an admission that science can defeat God? Or is it simply an admission that God is merely a scientist himself?
I think it must be the latter: from now on everyone who ever accuses anyone of playing God is merely accusing that person of being a different sort of scientist than 'God.' Or worse: a better one.
