The biotechnology revolution has already begun. With the completion of the mapping of the human genome in 2000, we are poised for many life-changing biotechnological discoveries and innovations. However despite its many promises, biotechnology has also generated many controversies. |
This book is a modest attempt to clarify some of these issues which include the following:
-
When does a human life begin?
-
Should abortion be allowed?
-
Should Christian couples suffering from infertility consider in-vitro fertilization (IVF) or test-tube babies?
-
How should stem cell research and therapeutic cloning be regulated?
-
Should reproductive cloning be banned?
-
Should scientists be allowed to make changes or improve the human blueprint?
