Biotechnology and Humanity

My colleague at RIT Sean Sutton has edited a terrific collection of essays called Biotechnology: Our Future as Human Beings and Citizens . Besides some very provocative pieces by Leon Kass and Ronald Bailey, there is a contribution entitled “The Bible and Biotechnology” which very well might be the best and clearest summary Larry Arnhart has given of his Darwinian Conservatism and its position on religion. This is a timely and philosophically challenging book and I encourage the lot of you to buy it.
