Center for Biblical Bioethics
Are population, birth control, genetic manipulation, assisted suicide, and infertility medical problems waiting to be solved by clinicians and researchers, or moral dilemmas requiring biblical answers? These questions, and others, demand a careful, compassionate, Christian response:
-
Is it good to clone mammals?
-
Is it good that technology can manipulate human procreation?
-
Is a person obligated to donate organs, or to receive an organ transplant?
-
Are Christians morally obligated to resist death at any cost?
-
Should Christians use procreative technology and prenatal genetic testing?
-
Should a Christian disconnect feeding tubes near the end of life?
The following sections include more information:
