Les découvertes de la biologie moderne débouchent sur des techniques de "manipulations génétiques" qui offrent à l'homme le pouvoir d'intervenir dans l'évolution naturelle et de modifier les mécanismes de l'hérédité mais est-ce Prométhée ou Pandore qui s'avance vers nous ? La controverse a fait rage dans les milieux scientifiques eux-mêmes sur les risques de création et de dissémination, au cours de telles expériences, de dangereuses espèces microbiennes inconnues. Mais, par-delà ces dangers réels, se pose la question du rôle social que l'on veut faire jouer à la biologie. Fournit-elle vraiment le meilleur moyen de lutter contre la faim et la maladie dans le monde ? Le remède ne sera-t-il par pire que le mal ? Comme la physique jadis avec l'énergie nucléaire, la biologie avec les manipulations génétiques perd son innocence. La science est affaire trop sérieuse pour être laissée aux seuls scientifiques. Voici les éléments techniques et politiques, de l'indispensable débat public.

In public debates over biotechnology, theologians, philosophers, and political theorists have proposed that biotechnology could have significant implications for human nature. They argue that ethical evaluations of biotechnologies that might affect human nature must take these implications into account. In this book, Gerald McKenny examines these important yet controversial arguments, which have in turn been criticized by many moral philosophers and professional bioethicists. He argues that Christian ethics is, in principle, committed to some version of the claim that human nature has normative status in relation to biotechnology. Showing how both criticisms and defences of this claim have often been facile, he identifies, develops, and critically evaluates three versions of the claim, and contributes a fourth, distinctively Christian version to the debate. Focusing on Christian ethics in conversation with secular ethics, McKenny's book is the first thorough analysis of a controversial contemporary issue.

In the immediate future we are likely to witness significant developments in human genetic science. It is therefore of critical importance that Christian ethics engages with the genetics debate, since it affects not just the way we perceive ourselves and the natural world, but also has wider implications for our society. This book considers ethical issues arising out of specific practices in human genetics, including genetic screening, gene patenting, gene therapy, genetic counselling as well as feminist concerns. Genetics and Christian Ethics argues for a particular theo-ethical approach that derives from a modified version of virtue ethics, drawing particularly on a Thomistic understanding of the virtues, especially prudence or practical wisdom and justice. The book demonstrates that a theological voice is highly relevant to contested ethical debates about genetics.

Sinds de jaren 50 zit de bioëthiek in de lift, in een stroomversnelling. In heel de westerse wereld ontstonden biomedische instituten, congressen volgden elkaar snel op. Nieuwe tijdschriften zagen het licht; ethische commissies op lokaal, regionaal en nationaal vlak werden opgericht. In de stroom van publicaties ontbraken kerkelijke documenten niet. Sinds paus Pius XII heeft de kerkelijke overheid in toenemende mate haar stem laten horen. Rome heeft gesproken; inderdaad. Dit boek inventariseert het kerkelijk spreken in verband met bioëthiek. Een synthese over de rooms katholieke standpunten was niet voorhanden. Dit boek voorziet bijgevolg in een leegte. Maar het gaat om meer. Moet de kerk wel spreken? Bestaat er zoiets als een christelijke/kerkelijke bioëthiek? Wat kan het aandeel van de kerken zijn in het actuele biomedische debat? Ook op deze vragen wordt in deze publicatie grondig ingegaan.Dit boek richt zich tot al wie de kerkelijke standpunten in deze materie beter wil leren kennen.
