Given the profound moral-ethical controversies regarding the use of
new biotechnologies in medical research and treatment, such as
embryonic research and cloning, this book sheds new light on the
role of religious organizations and actors in influencing the
bio-political debates and decision-making processes. Further, it
analyzes the ways in which religious traditions and actors
formulate their bio-ethical positions and which rationales they use
to validate their positions. The book offers a range of case
studies on fourteen Western democracies, highlighting the
bio-ethical and political debates over human stem cell research,
therapeutic and reproductive cloning, and pre-implantation genetic
diagnosis. The contributing authors illustrate the ways in which
national political landscapes and actors from diverse and often
fragmented moral communities with widely varying moral stances,
premises and commitments formulate their bio-ethical positions and
seek to influence political decisions.
