Biotechnology, Human Nature, and Christian Ethics

Participants in biotechnology debates often argue that human nature has normative status, so that ethical evaluations of biotechnologies that affect human nature must consider their implications for human nature. Focusing on Christian ethics in conversation with secular ethics, this book is the first thorough analysis of this controversial issue.
