This study criticized ethical issues raised by genome editing technology (CRISPR-Cas9) from a Christian ethical point of view. First, the problems of genome editing technology was analyzed, and based on this analysis, the limitations and contradictions of those who would like to advocate and actively use genetic editing technology was criticized and rebutted from a Christian theological point of view. In the light of Christian reason, life is given as a gift of grace from the Creator. Human desire to manipulate and strengthen the power of the child through genome editing technology is derived from misunderstanding the position of human being in creation, and we can see that it is arrogant domination and control stemming from mistaking human role and God's role. Therefore, what is required of Christians today is a thorough reflection on human dominance in eugenic efforts to design and manipulate genes. It is a well-known fact that human life today is seriously underestimated. This social phenomenon is the result of an abandon of anthropocentrism and at the same time a backbone of utilitarian thinking. In other words, the tendency of reducing the absolute value of life to liberal values is remarkable because of the strong influence of the historical tendency. Man is the only one that can not be replaced by anyone. Thus, even in an 'insignificant' human embryo, the dignity of the Christian worldview is not neglected. The science and technology of the past dominate human ability and talent, and by attempting to redesign the human nature, it seems like only a strengthened human being is a righteous person, but the human being under God's creation order enjoys the gift of grace as a gift, and it is an entity that is composed of the responsibilities entrusted to each other in cooperation with the creatures. Thus, enhanced human-oriented gene editing techniques do not gain legitimacy from a Christian ethical point of view.
Abstract
This study criticized ethical issues raised by genome editing technology (CRISPR-Cas9) from a Christian ethical point of view. First, the problems of genome editing technology was analyzed, and based on this analysis, the limitations and contradictions of those who would like to advocate and actively use genetic editing technology was criticized and rebutted from a Christian theological point of view. In the light of Christian reason, life is given as a gift of grace from the Creator. Human desire to manipulate and strengthen the power of the child through genome editing technology is derived from misunderstanding the position of human being in creation, and we can see that it is arrogant domination and control stemming from mistaking human role and God's role. Therefore, what is required of Christians today is a thorough reflection on human dominance in eugenic efforts to design and manipulate genes. It is a well-known fact that human life today is seriously underestimated. This social phenomenon is the result of an abandon of anthropocentrism and at the same time a backbone of utilitarian thinking. In other words, the tendency of reducing the absolute value of life to liberal values is remarkable because of the strong influence of the historical tendency. Man is the only one that can not be replaced by anyone. Thus, even in an 'insignificant' human embryo, the dignity of the Christian worldview is not neglected. The science and technology of the past dominate human ability and talent, and by attempting to redesign the human nature, it seems like only a strengthened human being is a righteous person, but the human being under God's creation order enjoys the gift of grace as a gift, and it is an entity that is composed of the responsibilities entrusted to each other in cooperation with the creatures. Thus, enhanced human-oriented gene editing techniques do not gain legitimacy from a Christian ethical point of view.
