GENETIC ENGINEERING
A Christian Response: Crucial Considerations in Shaping Life

We contributed a chapter to this book, which deals specifically with the potential impact of the human genome project. The science is a little dated (copyright 1999), but the principles still apply. Considerable space is given to reproductive issues and it is therefore as relevant to the Christian obstetrician, midwife, and reproductive medicine specialist as to the geneticist.
