I can see where the scientific community would be happy. But what about this artificial life how can we ensure it will be treated humainly. What about all the failed experiments? Playing God is never a good thing because people get arrogant and drunk with power.

Dude, when pepole talk about artificial life they think about things on the cellular level, nothing close to real animals.

Thats not what I gather from any of the interviews I've watched on TV or read about. Sure it starts at a cellular level but the end goal is to create artificial life. Many of the break throughs people talk about is cloning or an artificial womb. Right now its at a cellular level but it will eventually turn into animals and humans. That is a goal of many of these companies.

This is just the start. As I said I saw an interview on CBC a year or so ago about a guy who was saying that in the near future we will grow artificial clones which we will get organs from. These would be artificial humans!
