Professor Lek Ho, I believe, is one of the very few visionaries we have, who works hard to make our future better. Ethicists like Joe Chen, however, have long ridiculed the prospects of synthetic biology by labeling it “playing God.” Even among ethicists, who rely heavily on theologians for support, there are many discrepancies. Many theologians, such as Willem B. Drees, have ignored the term "playing God" as naive and comical. Although humans indefinitely work on a very whimsical boundary between inanimate and animate objects, there is no divinity in this, as agreed upon by the religious and scientific community. The promise of curing deadly diseases, producing more efficient fuels and reducing environmental pollution is decidedly seductive even for the most ultra-conservative ethicists. With respect to religion, the elimination of human suffering, the protection of the environment, the promotion of general well-being, and the advancement of scientific knowledge using human reason and ingenuity are goals in harmony with the main teachings of each religion. Scientist Craig Venter played an important role in the sequencing of the human genome and claimed to have created the world's first synthetic cell. Western society's reaction to this fundamental research has been characteristically extreme and naive. Ethicists, media figures, environmentalists and religious figures have criticized not only the research, but also synthetic biology as a whole. Risk areas normally associated with synthetic biology are uncontrolled release into the environment (in the event of an epidemic), bioterrorism, and moral issues surrounding the creation of artificial life. The release of synthetic organisms into the environment could be a risk i. ..... middle of paper ...... to remove the constantly growing errors about synthetic biology, initiated by the rather derisive media. The potential of synthetic biology is too great to be written off with alarmist maxims. If playing God means finding cures for life-threatening diseases, eradicating pollution, and creating replenishable fuel sources, then these fundamental benefits must be considered without the burden of vague concepts. , simplistic sentences. Nearly every biotechnological breakthrough, such as birth control, the introduction of anesthesia and stem cell research, has been derided for upsetting the natural order. Only by engaging the public in discussions about what synthetic biology can and cannot do can we benefit from this revolutionary phase of humanity. In the meantime, it is clear that we should not let conventional fools hinder the progress of synthetic biology..
