Beginning Biotechnology Guidelines
There is no doubt that the new opportunities and challenges lifted up by such things as stem cell research, cloning, genetically generated pharmaceuticals, trans-species genetic modifications, xeno transplantation, genetic screening, genetically modified foods, bio-patenting, and nanotechnology will dramatically alter the lives of people, now and in future generations. Such alteration can hold much promised good. It can also produce destructive and uncontrollable dynamics.
We believe these guidelines can help us and possibly others in our own processes of judgment not as if they were the last word, but as an initial word of needed, on-going reflection on how Christians might responsibly address biotechnological/nano-technological innovations in our time.
