Bioethics and the Book of Life

Title

Notes

Scientists, ethicists and religious leaders are asking where scientific advances in stem-cell research and cloning are leading us. How might these advances transform human life? What is the role of religion and ethics in grappling with the choices the new genetic knowledge presents? And have the responses of theologians, ethicists, religious leaders and faith traditions kept up with the accomplishments of science and technology?
