dc.description.abstractThe term “genetic engineering” encapsulates people’s fear regarding future of science, since it is seen as having the potential to manipulate human nature. For some it is “playing God” in the most objectionable of ways. However, the term is a multi-faceted subject and must be scrutinized holistically in order for us to render sound if not just moral and ethical judgment. This paper will explain some of the major forms of “eugenics” and their respective ethical, moral, theological, and practical arguments on this issue. Since it is expected that I present my stand, I will at the latter part of this paper. It is however my prayer that as I supply you with the background of the subject, you will be able to make a stand of your own. Although I know that as a nation we are technologically behind, the question begins to haunt many questioning minds. Whether I have admitted it or not, genetic engineering is an issue we need to wrestle with, in order for us to evolve to a higher level of enlightenment. I ask you to be open and serious as well in dealing with the issue.en_US
