With that view point, isn't taking antibiotics playing god? Painkillers? What about radiation or chemotherapy for cancer patients? God gave them cancer, why should we fix them? Where do you draw the line what's acceptable or not?
That's true. But providing medication for an illness is different than altering someone's DNA before or after they are born to prevent an illness.
I just think that if you start with this research, it will lead to bad things. What can the government take from the learnings and translate into military purpose? Will they be developing the "perfect human weapon"? I don't care what the law will read, the greedy fat cats and government aholes will get around the laws. They do now on a daily basis. They write the laws, so they are the experts at getting around them.
