In public debates over biotechnology, theologians, philosophers,
and political theorists have proposed that biotechnology could have
significant implications for human nature. They argue that ethical
evaluations of biotechnologies that might affect human nature must
take these implications into account. In this book, Gerald McKenny
examines these important yet controversial arguments, which have in
turn been criticized by many moral philosophers and professional
bioethicists. He argues that Christian ethics is, in principle,
committed to some version of the claim that human nature has
normative status in relation to biotechnology. Showing how both
criticisms and defences of this claim have often been facile, he
identifies, develops, and critically evaluates three versions of
the claim, and contributes a fourth, distinctively Christian
version to the debate. Focusing on Christian ethics in conversation
with secular ethics, McKenny's book is the first thorough analysis
of a controversial contemporary issue.
