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.
Industry Reviews
"Science promises to change, perfect, and even immortalize us. But how far can it go without damaging our fundamental humanity? John Bryant supplies a masterly, readable, and deeply informed critique of the current arguments based upon extensive original research. `Beyond Human' must be reckoned essential reading for everyone concerned about the deepening chasm between scientific and technological possibilities and ethical, humane, and just conduct." -- Alan Chapman
"a heart-felt discussion of thorny ethical conundrums" -- Shara Zaval * Publishers Weekly *
"I commend this book to anyone who is concerned to understand the revolution in bio medicine and is prepared to think through the ethical and moral implications..." * Evangelicals Now *
The pros and cons of the developments described are well set out and many illustrative stories add a human touch and prevent dry debate. Those who like clear cut answers won't find them here, but those who are looking for an update on what is going on in the laboratory world with the ethical complexities highlighted, Beyond Human? should prove stimulating and thought provoking. -- Caroline Berry * Third Way *
