Message: <blockquote data-quote="DM_Matt" data-source="post: 667544" data-attributes="member: 1213">Isn't that going a bit too far?There is an old Jewish myth regarding the Tower of Babel that attempts to answer the question of what exactly was so bad about humanity's aspirations to reach the heavens (and thus reach G-D Himself).  It says that when a human worker fell from the tower, the people had no compassion, but rather they put the body into the bricks and continued on.  But when one of the massive bricks that was being taken up the tower fell, they cried "Woe unto us! When shall another one be brought up to take its place."  And thus G-D foiled their plans.Human life must always be our paramount concern.  Progress is important, but we must never lose sight of that no matter what we are doing, the preservation of human life, particularly innocent human life, is the greatest good of all.</blockquote>
