Anything not logically and ethically used by humans could result in negative outcomes. Science is like magic to wizards it depends on the intention of the user. It just exists, it’s neither good nor bad until it is set in motion by the person or person using it. When allowed science and technology can produce solutions for every problem humans face, it’s the way in which we implement these solutions that make the difference. Science should not be feared but respected and understood as what it is, a tool for change either negative or positive.
Sure we could prolong life to thousands of years but the population would swell beyond the carrying capacity of the environment like it already has and would leave no room for evolution, that would be another problem with another solution.
Plus I don’t think there is such thing as playing god and my christian mother agrees, that if god wanted us not to have the ability to do what we do in science he wouldn’t have given us the brain power in which to figure it out. (I’m a spiritualist who believes in the science of evolution, therefore I never take god into account) but for others this is a part of the equation if you will. It boils down to the human experience. We can do great constructive things with science or destructive all the same.
