A biologist and a Christian theologian examine the scientific and
philosophical implications and potential impacts of genetic
technologies. God, Science, and Designer Genes: An Exploration of
Emerging Technologies provides a unique approach to the central
ethical dilemma in contemporary science, offering both an
up-to-date account of the current state of genetic technologies and
insightful discussions of the moral/theological questions these
technologies raise. Coauthored by professors of biology and
theology, God, Science, and Designer Genes examines a range of
from-the-headlines issues, including the relationship between
science and religion, "designing" our children, stem-cell research,
cloning, genetics and behavior, genetics and privacy, and using
genetic technologies for social justice. Who should
benefit-personally and financially-from DNA technology? Who might
be harmed? How do we protect individual rights and guard against
discrimination? How will embryo modification affect the identity of
those so modified? God, Science, and Designer Genes gives readers
an eloquent, thoughtful, and objective foundation for considering
these and other questions about the potential conflict between
scientific achievement, personal faith, and social responsibility.
A series of chapters combining basic scientific discussions of DNA
technologies with ethical discussions of the social issues they are
raising Five hypothetical case studies that provide realistic
contexts for exploring specific issues related to genetic
technologies An extensive bibliography of current and significant
books, journals and websites with regard to genetic technologies A
comprehensive index
