Abstract:
The Human Genome Project (HGP) is a remarkable medical science breakthrough that enables the understanding of genetics and the intervention of human health. An individual\'s health is influenced by physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and religious factors. Among these, religious beliefs shape our thinking on cloning, stem cells, and gene editing, affecting healthcare decisions and the motivation for seeking treatment. Is the human genome sacred? Does editing it violate the idea that we\'re made in God\'s image or allow us to \"play God\"? Understanding the perspectives behind the fundamental religious doctrines of Islam, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist on gene editing/therapy in somatic and germline cells would ensure a right balance between geneticists and theologians in providing the best healthcare while catering to individual beliefs.
摘要:
人类基因组计划(HGP)是一项非凡的医学科学突破,它使人们能够理解遗传学和干预人类健康。一个人的健康受到身体的影响,情感,社会,知识分子,和宗教因素。其中,宗教信仰塑造了我们对克隆的思考,干细胞,和基因编辑,影响医疗决策和寻求治疗的动机。人类基因组是神圣的吗?编辑它是否违反了我们按照上帝的形象创造的想法,或者允许我们“扮演上帝”?理解伊斯兰教基本宗教教义背后的观点,Christian,印度教,和佛教徒关于体细胞和生殖系细胞中的基因编辑/治疗将确保遗传学家和神学家之间的正确平衡,在满足个人信仰的同时提供最好的医疗保健。
