Is it OK to Alter Nature?
Asked by: kc5255 from PHILADELPHIA, PA
Human beings are equipped with rationality and the ability to make morally good and morally bad choices. Is it OK to alter nature, or should we leave well enough alone? Sometimes we hear the criticism, “human beings should not play God.” What does that mean? Is it true? Is it ok to use technology to get pregnant? How should we die? Do we have to simply allow nature to take its course? Is plastic surgery ok? Is it ok to use technology to enhance our bodies and our abilities? How should we treat the environment? Should scientists ever restrict their research, or the applications of their research, on ethical grounds?

I'm devided on the issue. I guess it would be ok to some extent. as long as we aren't infringing on another beings rights, such as homes, nests. i know this isn't practiced in todays world but it should be. as for technology to help get you pregnant, thats touchy. I'd say yes, if the parents are responsible and loving, in other words there should be some type of limitations, not like the ones we have, where if you have the money you can have ANYTHING you want.we should definately let nature run its course.plastic surger...

I think that humans should take responsibility for their actions. There are so many ethical/moral issues about "playing God" that there just isn't enough time in the world to go through them all. This debate will go on until the end of time, no doubt about it.
