Theology and Biotechnology by Celia Deane-Drummond

As genetically-altered food reaches the supermarket shelves, and the cost of ridding Britain of BSE mounts, the religious and philosophical issues which arise from biotechnology become ever more apparent. This text offers a theological and ethical critique of biotechnology. Is nature simply a machine which can be manipulated at will for human benefit? What are the consequences for the poorer parts of the world? Are traditional theologies of creation able to deal with the new science available to us? Asking these and other similar questions, this text offers a new way forward, using wisdom as a metaphor for the theology of creation which is in tune with the natural world.
