I believe that nature alters itself enough; it certainly doesn't need our help in the process. Have you noticed that the sun sets a little to the northwest now and not due west? That's Mother Nature for you... always full of surprises!

IT IS NOT OK TO USE TECHNOLIGIES TO GET PREGNANT.WHOSOEVER DO THIS KIND OF THING RECEIVES PUNISHMENT.ONE OR MORE DEFECTS ARE FOUND IN THAT BABY WHO HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BY TECHNOLIGY.WE SHOULD DIE THWE NATURAL WAY. BUT AT THE PRESENT TIME IT HAS BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO DIE THE NATURAL WAY. POLLUTION, TRAFFIC , DRUGS, AND MANY MORE SIMPLE WAYS TO DIE.DEATH RATE HAS INCREASED RAPIDLY DUE TO THESE DEVELOPMENTS.THE PLASTIC SURGERY; HUMANS USE PLASTIC SURGERY TO OVERCOME THEIR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE WHICH AT LAST CAUSES DEFECT ONLY. http://www.beautyfeast.com/Pla...
since the beginning of the world technology has never been able to create a thing better than nature.i don't know why i'm telling this to you but if technology would have not existed we would be living in a world that was years ago. you have asked this question the computer , the internet from which you are able to ask this question is provided by scientists only. the world in which we are living is technoligy full.some times the question that you have asked me appears in everyone's mind but they are deviated when they thinks that they are also using this technology.in every way we use technology.if you'll think of your dail activities i'm sure you'll find that you are also depending on technology.

So far altering nature is concerned, if this is done sustainable level then nature is with you like if you build a medium height dam to stop the flow of a river and then divert it for irrigation and power generation purposes. When you become too greedy to raise the height of dam then nature plays it's role in time with devastation like earthquake, flooding which occurs because of too much pressure caused on the flow of river and with time it shows up in above forms.

Human beings should not play God or nature is very true when it surppasses the limit of greed as I mentioned earlier. In Hindus we have number of gods & godesses and few of them are in nature like plants, fire, earth, water and so on. We must respect them and we shall try to maintain their existence or we can not survive for long. If we simply keep cutting trees for building our houses and do not grow more trees then we simply can not survive with out them and we will face long term problems.

God has created men and women for a purpose and he /she is very advanced scietist who has created us, our body, mind, sensitivity , eye sight and regeneration capabilities. I am very much aware that scientists are trying to make men to bear child instead of women and I am very much positive that somehow something will be lacking in such artificial way that either the child will have negaive effect in long run or the father will have. In such cases I am of the opinion that let nature take it's own course.

I am for plastic surgaery if it does not have any side effect to your body and to enhance your beauty for your pleasure and satisfaction. Scientists should keep researching new technologies to fight diseases and to keep our body healthy and disease free. I follow latest technological advancements in genome and cancer treatments and other nanostructures being used for heart pumps which I find as one of the best things going on at present.

When we think of the progress in medical science, and the lives that have been saved, we can't question the fact that altering nature for the common good is a positive thing. I don't think people play God when they choose to use their gifts to improve the quality of life. I personally think, if the technology exists to create life, as in invitro fertilization, then why not use it? Ask any couple who are desperate to have a child of their own! We should die when our quality of life has deteriorated to the point that deat...

I personally think, if the technology exists to create life, as in invitro fertilization, then why not use it? Ask any couple who are desperate to have a child of their own! We should die when our quality of life has deteriorated to the point that death is the only answer left. Plastic surgery is fine for those that think a little nip-tuck would improve their lives. We should treat our environment with great respect! It sustains us! Some people think stem cell research is unethical, others don't. The research should continue! If we choose not to take advantage of it, that's okay too!

What do you mean? Our every move is affecting nature. That time you saw that guy spit on the road change nature. We've built thousands of buildings affecting nature. We kill animals for food, put that in for nature :D

Change keeps coming. And change is nature. Saying that we should not alter nature is almost the exact same as saying we should not exist. Every breath you are taking has an effect on nature :P...

I think that God is in control of this world and no matter how bad things are or how good things are it all happens for a reason. And no matter how people think they may be playing God, really God is playing you. I'm not perfect and I have more than my share of bad things in my life but in the end even if I don't go to church all the time or read the Bible all the time I will put my life in God's hands, and if I go to hell then I'll know it's because God wanted me to. People worry to much about what they can't control, ...

People worry to much about what they can't control, when we should all just be happy that God is allowing us to live on his Earth and enjoy what time we do have!

We are living in a fast growing world, we either accept it or we do'nt. There are a lot of very smart people out there and are very well trained in all areas, technology is part of life and people are allways going to better it.

its almost like blastpheme, nobody should be God but God, but I am takin out a tree next weekend so I can add onto my garage.

Since we are a part of nature by being its entity, every alteration is always nature driven... even our thoughts, actions and means are influenced by nature.

Nature has weathered our coarse ancestrial features into sleeky smooth accessories and honed our mental capacities to intellectual cutting edges.

Nature has weathered our coarse ancestrial features into sleeky smooth accessories and honed our mental capacities to intellectual cutting edges.

Nature has taken us up the rungs of the ladder of evolution to an all compassing perfection, rather than pushing us down to the micro world of subdued earthly creations where every moment of life is at the mercy of the HIGHER SPECIES.

Nature has entrusted us with the task of preserving it with our superior intellect and hence, since we do everything for good of ourselves, altering nature would defenitely mean that it is Nature which is in the process of altering our environment for the better of us...and not the other way around.

HAIL YOU NATURE !!!!!!!

there is no chance to alter the nature.it is not in our hands and we can't change the nature according to our wish,

human beings have strained Earth’s natural resources to the breaking point, leaving the planet “parched.” and human beings should not play God. Nature eventually will exterminate the majority of humans through widespread disease or other effects of global warming—and all seems delighted at ...

God has anything to do with the daily lives, most especially, the birth and death of human beings. For most people who believe in evolution - including those who do believe in God - or the Christian New Testament (to distinguish from the Christian sects who have augmented or modified Christian doctrine), God is not involved in decisions of birth and death at all. It is an obvious judgement of life and one's perspective in it, to presume that decisions about whether we live or whether and when we die, are god-like decisions. It is also a judgement of life to decide whether one should live with pain and agony, knowing full-well that they have a terminal illness from which there is no known recovery. It is also a by-product of man-made technology's power to keep people alive past historic limits of illness and ailment. This too is a judgement call and it is made by human beings. Because I live in a secular society, that differentiates between values established and accepted by the majority of society and those established by "god" and his religious administrators, I think and believe that it is everyone's right to determine the amount of suffering they must and can endure in their lifetime on the planet earth. It should not up to fellow society members to decide that they must endure and live in pain because of differing viewpoints on who is responsible for their life on earth. If it is part of your "faith" not to choose this course of action, then live according to your "faith".


Playing God is what got patients to that point in the first place. If we create the problem we should also be part of its solution

Of course it's okay to alter nature! Could you stand freezing in the winter virtually anywhere outside of the tropics without a fire! Did lighting that fire alter the temperature within a small perimeter that would not normally remain warm? Did you benefit from it and live that much longer than if you were outside of that perimeter?
If human beings around the world have arrived to this point in earth's history from their humble beginnings, it's because they altered nature to fit...

If human beings around the world have arrived to this point in earth's history from their humble beginnings, it's because they altered nature to fit their needs ( Needs, that nature in only a very specific and small area of Africa originally provided to the naked ape).
If the repurcussions of altering nature become so dangerous as to threaten the existence of Man as a species, then Man also has the right and the duty to itself to review and correct its original actions.
Playing "God" only means that the person saying this phrase has placed limits on their own terms of understanding. Once comprehension overcomes ignorance and fear, suddenly "God" isn't so integral to the dimemma;
No one doubts that airplanes and helicopters are an important tool in rapid, safe and efficient transportation, yet a little more than century ago when the first attempts at flying were producing high instances of accidents, serious injury and mortality, people were declaring: " If "God" had intended man to fly, he would have given him wings"!
To these same kinds of people that live by the pride of their ignorances and fear, which we still have around us even in this century, I have this comment for them to digest: "If God hadn't intended man to realize his dreams and desires, he wouldn't have given him a brain with which to think creatively nor hands to animate his abstract thought into reality".
