The Ethical Dilemma of Genetic Engineering


Listen Later

Genetic engineering offers remarkable possibilities but raises significant ethical questions. Is it right to alter DNA to repair defects or improve crops? What about using genetic modifications to regrow human limbs? These advancements come with the potential for unintended consequences, requiring wisdom and moral clarity. How can Christians discern boundaries in a world where technology’s reach seems limitless?

Dr Rob Carter examines genetic engineering through three guiding principles: respecting humans as bearers of God’s image, stewarding creation responsibly, and following Christ’s example of healing and restoration. He explores applications ranging from medical breakthroughs to ethical dilemmas in IVF and cloning. Rob provides a thoughtful, faith-based perspective on these complex issues.
