Bioethic Resources
One very challenging area for Christians to consider is the use of technology in medicine. The Center
for Bioethics and Human Dignity (cdhd.org) at Trinity International University is a bioethics research
center whose mission is to explore the “nexus of biomedicine, biotechnology, and our common humanity.” The center seeks to help people understand the complex issues involved in biotechnology, nanotechnology, genetics, cloning, etc.
Environmental Issue Resources
The use of technology impacts not only humans but also our environment. The Evangelical Environment Network (creationcare.org) is a ministry seeking to care for God’s creation. They desire to
“equip, inspire, disciple, and mobilize God’s people in their effort to care for God’s creation” by looking at the issues that stem from the use of technology, including global warming, pollution, access to
clean water, etc.
