Description
"Outcry over recent developments in the reproductive and genetic sciences has revealed deep fissures in society's perception of biotechnical progress. Many are concerned that reckless technological development, driven by consumerist impulses and greedy entrepreneurlalism, has the potential to radically shift the human condition-and not for the greater good. Biotechnology and the Human Good builds a case for a stewardship deeply rooted in Judeo-Christian theism to responsibly interpret and assess new technologies In a way that answers this concern." "The authors argue that to question and critique how fields like cybernetics, nanotechnology, and genetics might affect our future is not antiscience, anti-Industry, or antiprogress, but rather a way to promote human flourishing and the human good."--Jacket.
