520 |a Human genetics, and particularly ‘genomics’ - the understanding of human heredity building on the Human Genome Project - is already having a profound impact on health care and biomedical research. Some areas of genomic medicine, such as the diagnosis of inherited disease and human genetic modification, raise difficult ethical questions which demand a theological response. Pre-implantation and prenatal genetic diagnosis raise issues to do with the value of human life and the moral status of embryos and foetuses. Genetic modification for the purposes of therapy and enhancement raise (inter alia) questions about health, disease and what it means to flourish as a human creature. A properly theological response to these questions will call for a critical re-framing of current debates about the ethics of human genetics.
