Ethics of Biotechnology

Edited by Roman J. Miller,
Beryl H. Brubaker, and James C. Peterson

"Now we finally have a rich resource for examining the implications of the Anabaptist tradition for bioethics, a resource that can be used alongside works from other religious traditions."
—James F. Childress, Director, Institute for Practical Ethics and Public Life, University of Virginia, in the Foreword

"An engaging dialogue between scientists and theologically informed Christians from the Anabaptist tradition. These essays are especially helpful in clarifying the scientific realities of genetics and biotechnology, and bringing to the table voices infrequently heard in bioethics discussions-- namely, the Anabaptists."
—Dennis Hollinger, President and Professor of Christian Ethics, Evangelical School of Theology

"It is so good to have a book that brings typical Anabatist concerns and questions to the field of bioethics. These authors emphasize communal discernment in facing tough ethical choices. They warn us of the constant temptation to choose profits over God. They remind us to ask not only about the costs and benefits of new technology but also about whose power interests are bing served. Finally, they expand the typical focus on right to life to the more Christ-like concern for fullness of life. "
—Nancey Murphy, Professor of Christian Philosophy, Fuller Theological Seminary.

"This work on bioethics comes with a passion for integrity. It is an affirmation of the sanctity and the beauty of the created order. The writings attempt to present an Anabaptist ethic of solidarity with Jesus as Lord. The writers call us to seek to follow, in decisions confronting us in the new developments of scientific research, the ideals of self-giving love, of reverence and the truth that God's gift of life holds us accountable to be stewards of his gift. The book does not claim to have all of the answers but does call us to a faith that seeks to think with God through ‘the truth as it is in Jesus.’"
—Myron S. Augsburger, Author of The Robe of God; President Emeritus, Eastern Mennonite University; Evangelist
