Just where is all of this going to lead us? How does God feel about us trying to "play god"? I don't think that He's very happy with it and I see it as another mark against us in our downfall.

Diana, I may not have been clear in my post. I agree with your position on experimenting with the genetics of things. Stem cell research and use of pig valves is one thing. Monkeying with genetics is very dangerous territory. God meant for us and the creatures he created to have the genes we have. I saw where they modified the genetics of tropical fish to make them glow and modified the genetics of a cat to take away the allergins. We don't fully understand the potential negative repercussions of these seemingly harmless experiments with the genes that make us all who we are. I am concerned with the modification of the genetics of our crops as well. This does border on trying to play God.
