CMV: "Playing God" should not be a deterrent from any kind of technological or medical advancement

I hate the phrase "playing God" more than just about any other. I mean, isn't a hospital just playing God? If God gave you cancer, didn't he want you to die? 

Humanity has surpassed natural law. In nature, the weakest die first. The elderly die first. This is just the way it is, it's the way it's always been. 

Humanity has stepped beyond these facts of life. Because of this, I think we should pursue every avenue open to us: we should begin cloning, we should look into mechanical augmentation, we should do everything we can to advance our species.

Usually "playing God" is meant as a caution against creating and destroying life on a large scale, because of the belief that doing so would cause that life to rise up against us (see: Battlestar Galactica) or the destruction to eradicate us (see: nuclear holocaust) or something like that. It's more of a warning about the potential evil that we could wield if we attain a level of power over the creation and destruction of life. Bombing Hiroshima, for example, would have been "playing God," and that's undeniably a bad thing. You're taking it too literally, it is only meant to warn against bad things happening from advancement, not all advancement ever.
