I think what we make is an important factor in evolutionary theory. The ability to use tools and such to improve our abilities shows how far evolution has progressed us as a race and I don't think that this is really preventing our evolution, it is just indicating that our evolution has reached a peak - we're good enough to create what we need with our superior brains

Thats true in a sense, but natural flaw such as infertility are being overcome by our social "memes". Infertile parents are able to conceive using many methods, which is actually going against evolution. Without the memes, these people would not reproduce, and therefore not pass on their alleles (genes) that code for infertility.
