Synopsis

Contends that in light of the fact that we can now alter human nature we must find a transnatural standpoint from which to make moral judgments―that is, a theological standpoint. Current and future advances in genetic and biological science require a bold theological response, argues Sherlock, not a response based on pragmatism or arguments from nature, including natural-law arguments.
