This book addresses a current, frontline issue in the perennial
exchange between science and religion. Jersild surveys the
contemporary scene in genetic research and the visionary goals of a
number of scientists concerning the human future. He focuses on
human identity - "Who Are We?" - as the critical question, first
addressing our biological origins in light of evolution and
presenting a holistic understanding of human nature. He then turns
to the world of biotechnology and the tension between human
limitations and human potential in light of prospective genetic
enhancements. The implications of genetic engineering, the impact
of pharmacology, and the human desire for perfection and
immortality all enter into a volatile mix of ideas and aspirations
concerning the human future. Jersild brings a Christian perspective
to these developments in spelling out a responsible stance.
