Beskrivning

A hugely topical collection of essays from a cross-disciplinary group of leading academics focussing on the implications for an understanding of human identity in light of the current possibilities in medical science. The book brings together an international body of medical experts alongside philosophers, sociologists, theologians and ethicists in order to discuss these vital issues. The ensuing discussion will allow public debate to be more informed about the actual possibilities inherent in medical science, alongside a sophisticated treatment of ethical and theological issues. The result is a focused collection of essays that raises new and challenging questions.

Recensioner i media

'Together with faith and love, hope has for centuries been identified as one of the chief theological virtues. The essays in Future Perfect? help us to ponder what Christian hope should mean in the face of technological and medical advances that transcend old limits, that give us the power to reshape how and how long we live, and that threaten (or promise) to transform even the meaning of human identity. In thinking theologically with the authors of the essays collected here, readers will be invited to reflect upon the sort of future for which we should hope.'Gilbert Meilaender, Duesenberg Professor in Christian Ethics, Valparaiso University, USA
