Description

This study on “Genetic Engineering’ and Cloning’ touches

upon various dimensions of the greatest ethical’ challenge’, of the new Millennium. The cdll here is to consecrate the future, rather than busy ourselves

in canonizing the past-to be done with Christian maturity and profound respect for God^s existing creation.

The author reminds us about our obligation to understand ourselves in our biological, psychological and social structure, in caring for our total health as persons
