Abstract
"A major and overarching concern of the Church arises with its commitment to the God-given sanctity of human life. Some of the developments of the biological manipulation of human life, though promising amazing therapeutic achieve- ments, may also be understood and undermining respect for the integrity of human existence. Others may be seen as providing a new means of healing human illness. Discering the difference is the challenge the Church faces in developing its teaching on these newly appearing issues."
