The phrase "Man playing God" has been used many times before, in a metaphorical capacity.
But now, it is no longer a metaphor.
Man has created "artificial life". We are now, truly, playing with forces we cannot hope to control. We have siezed Promethean fire. Who will now bind us?
I didn't know last night when I fell asleep that I would be waking up to a much, much more dangerous world. We have just sown the seeds of our own destruction.
God help us all.
