Bedau said there are legitimate worries about creating life that could "run amok," but there are ways of addressing it, and it will be a very long time before that is a problem.

Note he said "BEFORE That is a problem"

Meaning. He knows eventually its going to be.

But screw it. Go ahead with it anyway right?

Just because we can do something doesnt always mean we should
