In the immediate future we are likely to witness significant
developments in human genetic science. It is therefore of critical
importance that Christian ethics engages with the genetics debate,
since it affects not just the way we perceive ourselves and the
natural world, but also has wider implications for our society.
This book considers ethical issues arising out of specific
practices in human genetics, including genetic screening, gene
patenting, gene therapy, genetic counselling as well as feminist
concerns. Genetics and Christian Ethics argues for a particular
theo-ethical approach that derives from a modified version of
virtue ethics, drawing particularly on a Thomistic understanding of
the virtues, especially prudence or practical wisdom and justice.
The book demonstrates that a theological voice is highly relevant
to contested ethical debates about genetics.
