Gene drives are we playing god?

[Coveny]

We've been playing god ever since we started using electricity to power our homes, if not even earlier than that. I don't see anything unethical about it, as long as we aren't murdering people or stealing parts from them.

Of course part of this is stem cell research, and some people think killing a zygote/fetus should count as murder, but that's a debate I don't feel like getting into.

It's about using genetic engineering to killing off an entire species of animals (in this case mosquitoes), don't you think that's a bit different than using a tool like electricity?
