Genetic Editing and BioEthics (3 July 2020)
This morning I shared the lesson at our Friday Morning Men’s Group for First Presbyterian Church in Edmond, Oklahoma. Because of COVID-19, we continue to meet “virtually” via Zoom each week. I recorded just the lesson portion of our hour meeting today, and it runs just under 30 minutes long.
Our scripture passages were:
- 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (NLT)
- Genesis 11:1-9 (NLT)
- Genesis 2:15-17 (NLT)
Here’s the link to the TED Talk video I mentioned and recommend watching about CRISPR. It’s about 10 minutes long:“What you need to know about CRISPR | Ellen Jorgensen” (from 2016).
This video and others are included in this YouTube playlist. Several other excellent videos from scientific / secular perspectives on CRISPR and Genetic Engineering in it. Check out the “Media” page of our Sunday School class website, “Curiosity and Questions: Jesus and Science” for additional related resources!
The slides from my presentation are available and also linked in the shared presentations folder on followjesus.wesfryer.com
