Spectacular advances in molecular genetics are forcing
humankind to face the most challenging question in its
history: are we simply an accident of biochemistry or
self-determining spiritual entities? Fundmental questions
as to who we are and who we want to become are
assuming God-like proportions. Does understanding our
DNA bring us any closer to Socrates' admonition to
"Know thyself?". And are we wise enough to mould
ourselves to the extent that new technology may allow?
This international conference brings together
distinguished speakers from the four fields of biology,
medical genetics, complementary medicine and
theology/ethics. It will explore diverse models of the
human being and ask if their integration might lead to an
understanding that does justice to all levels of analysis
and types of human experience. The conference will also
consider the philosophical and ethical implications arising
from these models.
