Genetics and Faith
January/February 2000

The January/February 2000 issue of the Bulletin examines the issue of genetic testing and its regard to religion and faith. Cindy Cohen explores religious views, especially in regards to stem cell technology. Byron Sherwin, Mary White, and Ron Cole-Turner discuss how genetic information and interventions raise questions about identity, the nature of God, and the meaning of genetic defects and suffering. Will religious traditions simply ignore, react, or be prepared when health care professionals and other faithful find themselves in the morass of genetics decision making.
