Publisher description
Life is a gift that includes powers to be used and celebrated, but that
doesn't necessarily justify the use of every new power that comes along. This
volume appeals to both secular and religious readers in the centre of the great
debate over our new genetic powers. These essays affirm many traditional
Christian perspectives and virtues, while also introducing new insights. The authors explore a broad range of topics, including genetic testing,
gene transfer, genetic manipulation, patenting, health insurance and the moral
status of embryos. They conclude that it is naive to either to reject outright
or wholeheartedly embrace the new genetic powers. In fact, sometimes the best
we can expect is to learn how to cope with moral uncertainty. Appealing to both secular and religious readers in the centre of the great
debate over our new genetic powers, these essays affirm many traditional
Christian perspectives and virtues, while also introducing new insights, and
the authors explore a broad range of topics.
