“I have to write an essay for my university class on the Christian view
of a technology. The topic that I choose is regarding genetic engineering
and how we as a Christians view it.
So, some background information:
Genetic engineering is a procedure that could be done pre-natal (meaning before
birth or during embryogenesis) or post-natal (on adults the procedure is called
‘gene therapy’).
The argument revolved around the question is whether this is allowed or not
because ethically it’s as if we’re playing god.
I’ve asked my pastor about this some other time and he said that it’s allowed
but only for medical purposes, not to change one’s aesthetics or to make
someone racially superior.”
That’s an interesting question.
