The biotechnology revolution has already begun. With the completion of the mapping of the human genome in 2000, we are poised for many life-changing biotechnological discoveries and innovations. However despite its many promises, biotechnology has also generated many controversies.
This book is a modest attempt to clarify some of these issues which include the following:
- When does human life begin?
- Should abortion be allowed?
- Should Christian couples suffering from infertility consider in-vitrio fertilisation (IVF) or 'test tube babies'?
- How should stem cell research and therapeutic cloning be regulated?
- Should reproductive cloning be banned?
- Should scientists be allowed to make changes or 'improve' the human blueprint?
