He is a Fellow of the UNESCO Chair in Bioethics and Human Rights. Joseph Tham teaches bioethics at Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum, Rome, Italy, and is the former Dean of the School of Bioethics. It will, therefore, be of great interest to academics working in bioethics, religion and the body, interreligious dialogue, and religion and science, technology and neuroscience. This is a significant collection, demonstrating how religion and modern technologies relate to one another. The contributors work together to explore issues such as: cultural attitudes to gene editing neuroactive drugs the interaction between genes and behaviors the relationship between the soul, the mind and DNA and how clinical applications of these technologies can benefit the developing world. It includes a number of distinct religious and cultural views on the anthropological, ethical and social challenges of emerging technologies in the light of human rights and in the context of global bioethics. The book features bioethics experts from six major religions: Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Judaism. This can help us to understand how religion might affect the impact of the initiatives such as the UNESCO Declaration in Bioethics and Human Rights.

In this volume, the role of genetic manipulation and neurotechnology in shaping human identity is examined from multiple religious perspectives. When discussing issues of bioethics, religion often plays a major role. Interreligious Perspectives on Mind, Genes and the SelfĪttitudes towards science, medicine and the body are all profoundly shaped by people’s worldviews.
