Excerpt:
Those who oppose the idea of using human stem cells for research believe that doing such a thing would be "playing God." The fact is, we crossed that celestial bridge long ago.

We did so in one way when we decided that God was wrong to have created childless couples, a decision that we took out of his hands and put into ours. Essentially, manufacturing embryos.

Unless, maybe, he wanted us to use our brains and free will to interfere with a natural process and "correct" infertility.

Just as, maybe, he wants us to use all of the knowledge and skill we've picked up over human existence to rid ourselves of some terrible diseases.
