AB Although biotechnology offers many benefits, our desire for it may be fueled by discriminatory, competitive, anxious, or selfish motives. We yearn for a technology that promises us control over nature and freedom from the suffering and limits that define our biological existence. It is possible, however, to see biotechnology as serving a different purpose, as a support for life as it should be lived before God. Seeing it this way is particularly important when we come to the question of the genetic modification of future generations of human beings, a prospect that in some ways has already begun.
