You Down With G.O.D.

Generally when things are labeled as "Playing God" it is taken as an argument against that thing. Stem Cell research or Designer Babies come to mind. You'll find alot of "Playing God" arguments in discussions involving creating life through unorthodox means.

I'll forgo discussion whether it's our place to "play God" because I realized today that we are so far beyond that line that it's not a relevant conversation anymore. More specifically I realized that all the things we do to prevent death are "playing God". How on earth would some woman's bone marrow being used to make a sperm be more abhorrent in God's eyes than a man who didn't die when God intended because of a pacemaker? Really Death is God's power while giving life is well within man's jurisdiction.

Even more salient is the fact that God told Adam to go forth and multiply. So really these strange procreation methods are quite inline with Christian doctrine.

It's an interesting thought.
