Few issues have aroused so much public attention and controversy as
recent developments in biotechnology. How can we make sound
judgements of the cloning of Dolly the sheep, genetically altered
foodstuffs, or the prospect of transplanting pigs' hearts into
humans? Are we 'playing God' with nature? What is driving these
developments, and how can they be made more accountable to the
public? Engineering Genesis provides a uniquely informed, balanced
and varied insight into these and many other key issues from a
working group of distinguished experts - in genetics, agriculture,
animal welfare, ethics, theology, sociology and risk - brought
together by the Society, Religion and Technology Project of the
Church of Scotland. A number of case studies present all the main
innovations: animal cloning, pharmaceutical production from
animals, cross-species transplants, and, genetically modified
foods. From these the authors develop a careful analysis of the
ethical and social implications - offering contrasting perspectives
and insightful arguments which, above all, will enable readers to
form their own judgements on these vital questions.
