Biotechnology and the Human Good

In Biotechnology and the Human Good, author C. Ben Mitchell presents a compelling exploration of our responsibilities as human beings in the age of technology. Published by Georgetown University Press in 2007, this thought-provoking book spans 224 pages and challenges readers to recognize that we are not merely autonomous individuals but interconnected beings accountable to one another, our environment, and a higher moral authority. Drawing insights from the perspectives of a physician, ethicists, and a theologian, Mitchell emphasizes that while biotechnology serves as a powerful tool, it is the intentions and values of those who wield it that ultimately shape its impact on society. This essential read is perfect for anyone interested in the moral and ethical dimensions of biotechnology, business ethics, and the intersection of science and values.
