This collection of articles co-written by a host of academics, professionals and practitioners, examines the core issues of biotechnology from a Judeo-Christian viewpoint. The contributors cover the core technologies, their relationship to the expectations of humanity, competing world views about biotechnology and its effects on human dignity, the question of the quest for control built into biotechnology and its applications, and the impetus to enhance humans. They propose meeting new technologies with the same decision-making skills afforded by the Judeo-Christian tradition used for millennia to deal with change and ethics.
