Should medical science be managed?

Should medical science and technology be managed? From a religious point of view, science and tech should be managed, as the advancement in science and technology has led to the encroachment of religions worldwide. Major religions have held onto the belief that all life is sacred; greatly valuing the sanctity of life, however, advancement into fields such as genetic engineering (which has led to stem cell research, and ultimately cloning) have effectively placed a tangible value to lives, and allowed man to play the role of God. It can be noted that elective abortion, was made easier with the advancement of science and technology; women no longer have to go under the knife to remove their fetuses, a simple drug would do the trick. Is it really Man’s role to play God, and to decide on the lives and deaths? A recent case in America, highlights the nightmare stem-cell research had became; a women, by the name of Nadya Denise Suleman, otherwise known as Octomom, had given birth to octuplets. Normally the public at large would congratulate the mother on such a birth, and the safe delivery of her brood. Normally. So what had caused a public outcry and pickets outside her residence? The women had achieved this “feat” or disaster if you will, through artificial insemination. This is a woman with six other children on hand, and is currently single and living off public support and her mother. She had, knowingly and willingly, placed herself and her then-unborn brood at unnecessary risk, not to mention further burdening the US taxpayers.

Politically, there are also fears that medical science and technology could lead to the creation of bio-chemical warfare agents. As early as the 1960 chemical warfare has been used, and though the agents used (the Rainbow Herbicide in the Vietnam War) was less severe then other kind of Weapons of Mass Destruction, improvements in the medical science and technology similarly means improvements to such chemical warfare.
