In this instance, I consider "playing God" as determining what is alive and what isn't. This "primate" thinks it's his dominion to decide what is human and deserving of dignity and respect and what is not. I call that playing God.

In fact this thread seems to mostly consist of people debateing various ways to tell whether or not something is alive.
