| Description: |
The human genome project not only challenges such doctrines as creation, eschatology and anthropology, but also raises issues of social justice and medical ethics. This book brings together theologians, scientists and social scientists to debate the human genome project. |
| Synopsis: |
One of the key issues facing us in the next millennium is the ability to manipulate the genetics of living organisms. The possibility of manipulating human genetics raises many theological, ethical land socio-political issues. These include specific decisions about whether the technology will be developed, how it will be applied and more general questions about the technical manipulation of "natural" processes.From a theological perspective the human genome project raises particular issues of social justice and medical ethics. The purpose of this book is to bring together the collective expertise of theologians, scientists and social scientists in order to provide a forum for critique and public debate focused on the human genome project. |
