Overview
The book sets out to examine the implications of the new power to design life which the application of genetics to reproductive biology has brought about. It breaks new ground by creating a dialogue between human genetics to human self-understanding and health care, genetic and psychological factors in shaping personal identity, cloning, changes in the concept of parenthood, the moral status of the human embryo and the legal and political issues arising from biotechnology.Editorials

Eight essays document an autumn 1997 public lecture series organized by the School of Hebrew, Biblical, and Theological Studies at Trinity College in Dublin. Authors from genetics, psychology, law, and theology debate the opportunities, dangers, and choices that modern genetics and the new reproductive and cloning techniques pose to society in its current state. They discuss the European Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine, the role of inheritance, crisis pregnancies in light of genetic diagnosis, and other matters. The collection is not indexed.
