Should we play God: Genetic Technology vs. Evolution?

[need_help]

Should we humans use our growing genetic technology to take the course of evolution into our own hands as we have used other tools to change our environment?

[Jesus & His Pal Dino]

You're a little confused by terminology.

Evolution is the change in POPULATIONS over immense periods of time due to natural selection.

Individuals do not evolve. Even if I use gene therapy to change some kind of trait of mine, that doesn't mean the human species have some how evolved.

To answer your question though:

I think using gene therapy for gene *disorders* are perfectly fine. Using gene therapy for the engineering of *appealing* people (be it by changing their skin color, eye color, sexual orientation, etc) is not right.

No one can "play God"
I beleive that God has the upper hand in technological breakthroughs.
