In ‘Beyond Human’, those who are interested, concerned or curious about the ethic implications of new scientific advances will find all the answers to their questions – and will probably discover some new ones in the process.
John Bryant, Professor of Biological Sciences and a leading voice in Bioethics, gives us unique insight into today’s scientific advances that are shaping our world as we speak. With a Christian perspective, John then considers these, showing how we are slowly taking control of nature and manipulating its unprecedented power without proper ethical reflection.
With clarity and startling wisdom, John will reveal exactly what the scientific world is currently doing, including:
• The environment, poverty, and food modification
• Genetics and eugenics
• Modern medical technology
• Transhumanism – ‘improving’ the species
• The dehumanizing effects of technology
This fascinating book will make you marvel at God’s creation and human ingenuity, whilst help you build your own thoughts and opinions on whether what they are doing is morally, ethically and spiritually acceptable.
