Attitudes towards science, medicine and the body are all profoundly
shaped by people's worldviews. When discussing issues of bioethics,
religion often plays a major role. In this volume, the role of
genetic manipulation and neurotechnology in shaping human identity
is examined from multiple religious perspectives. This can help us
to understand how religion might affect the impact of the
initiatives such as the UNESCO Declaration in Bioethics and Human
Rights. The book features bioethics experts from six major
religions: Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism,
and Judaism. It includes a number of distinct religious and
cultural views on the anthropological, ethical and social
challenges of emerging technologies in the light of human rights
and in the context of global bioethics. The contributors work
together to explore issues such as: cultural attitudes to gene
editing; neuroactive drugs; the interaction between genes and
behaviours; the relationship between the soul, the mind and DNA;
and how can clinical applications of these technologies benefit the
developing world. This is a significant collection, demonstrating
how religion and modern technologies relate to one another. It
will, therefore, be of great interest to academics working in
bioethics, religion and the body, interreligious dialogue, and
religion and science, technology and neuroscience.
