I guess my point would be that the gifts that man has brought forth to save lives are no less honest and true than the ones that we have been given to create life in the first place. To wit...
Honor the physician with the honor due him,
according to your need of
him, for the Lord created him;
for healing comes from the Most High,
and he will receive a gift from the king.
The skill of the physician lifts up his head,
and in the presence of great men he is admired.
The Lord created medicines from the earth,
and a sensible man will not despise them.
Was not water made sweet with a tree
in order that his power might be known?
And he gave skill to men
that he might be glorified in his marvelous works.
By them he heals and takes away pain;
the pharmacist makes of them a compound.
His works will never be finished;
and from him health is upon the face of the earth.
Wisdom of Sirach 38:1-8 (RSV)
