Brave New World: Bioethics in the 21st Century (Part 1)




Come Let Us Reason Podcast show

Summary: Brave New World: Bioethics in the 21st Century (Part 1) With life-saving treatments, artifical implants, and new techniques, humans are relying on medical science more than ever. But science without morality is dangerous and can lead us into real-world situations that were only nightmares in the past. Gene editing, human cloning, euthanasia, and abortion are just some of the real risks to the inherent dignity of human beings. In this podcast series, Lenny outlines the need for a transcendant moral grounding for the biological sciences, and how new technologies do pose a danger as knowledge outpaces our prudence. This class is part of a full series of lectures entitled "Christianity and Science: Tackling the Issues of the 21st Century." To find out more, visit the comereason.org web site. Part 1 of 2
