Example text

That is, we should never accept any form of genetic engineering that would alter these central human concerns. One implication of this distinction is that it would be allowable to genetically alter an animal to change its (biological) telos and, in so doing, make it more productive or more suited to an efficient environment. We could engineer a legless, blind chicken that would not suffer if raised in a battery cage. But we ought not fundamentally alter the human telos of a human being in any analogous way.

Not only did the building of bigger and more durable ships in tandem with such inventions as the lateen sail, the magnetic compass, and the astrolabe enable the geographic discoveries and colonizations of early modernity; there also arose a more systematic approach to technological innovation as well as a new feeling for the natural world that, while not as aggressive as modern technology, certainly was indicative, in retrospect, of a coming change in attitude toward nature in the West. As proof of such change, historians usually point to the large-scale utilization of nonhuman power sources such as oxen and horses, water and—with the invention of the windmill—wind power.

Rollin is aware that there would be difficulties at the boundaries between a human’s biological telos (and 26 Harold W. Baillie and Timothy K. Casey what might count as a disease or correctable condition) and a human telos (and thus what counts as suitable for companionship). He thinks that these ambiguities should be settled politically. Lisa Cahill’s “Nature, Sin, and Society” is an exploration of the concerns regarding genetic research and engineering from the perspective of theological ethics.
