Since the 1970s, the interrelated areas of medical genetics and
biotechnology have developed dramatically and afforded increased
control over the design of living organisms. From the very
beginning, controversies over these techniques and their
applications to plants, animals, and humans have raged in many
disciplines-including science, philosophy, ethics, and religion.
This book brings together the seminal essays of two leading
Catholic moral theologians-Thomas Shannon and James Walter-in an
effort to identify the key ethical and theological questions raised
by the new genetic medicine. What is unique about this book is that
it specifically and directly brings modern genetics and the Roman
Catholic theological and ethical tradition into dialogue. While the
authors argue that the Catholic tradition has much to offer in
putting this current scientific revolution into perspective, they
well understand the need to avoid merely repeating the tradition in
favor of bringing the best of the tradition to bear on the precise
questions posed by modern genetic technology.
