If Spider-Man has taught me anything, it's that regrowing limbs turns you into a giant homicidal lizard who wears purple pants.
Nearly every major medical advancement in history has been met with accusations of "God playing." This will be like those others, however, and simply bring about longer, better lives. No worries.

But will people who do not understand science fear it simply because it is science? Yes.
Of course, but these people do not need to be thought about in any large amount of detail.
But then again they always turn out to be our politicians, don't they? :ban:
I'm reminded of a line from one of the most under-rated and (should've been) multiple award winning films, 1980's Motel Hell:
Terry: "What gives you the right to play God?"
Vincent: "I'm not playing God. I wouldn't even know where to start, I'm just helping out."
:rofl:

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
60 Minutes is the best show on network television, IMO. That piece absolutely blew me away! I had no idea such things were even possible until I saw that. From growing tissue around moulds to create organs, to actually getting tissue to regenerate inside the body - wow! And the fellow who had the fully functioning hand, taken from a cadaver?! :eek: Truly amazing stuff!
I never buy the "playing god" thing when it comes to this type of thing. if you cure someone with cancer or a heart defect, is that not playing god? god obviously wanted that person to die but medical advancements stopped that. but maybe that person got sick so we can make better advancements. what i'm saying is we don't know what god wants if there is one so let's just continue on.
i'd like for someone who believes this is wrong to explain to a ********* person or to a war veteran who lost a limb or two why they shouldn't get another chance at living a regular life. oh wait, it's because He wanted it that way for us to only go so far in medical science

The tools that mankind has made can always be misused for evil, but if our ancestors feared what might have happened with sharpened tools because of the suffering they might have brought about we would have never advanced past the Stone Age. The use of science for wrongful ends will always be there, but that doesn’t mean we should shun all further advancement of science.
I don't see what's wrong with it. It's the same as inventing new types of medicine.
Now cloning, on the other hand.........

John Bobbit is ecstatic at this news.
As long as they don't clone dinosaurs next, that could be dangerous. Cloning organs would be a good idea IMMHO maybe no longer will I have to fear going to Mexico and then waking up in a bathtub full of ice without my kidneys if kidneys and other organs were cloned.
This seems like the plot to a zombie movie
Well said!
