Perspectives

Ronald Cole-Turner

The author responds to a statement opposing the patenting of life issued by religious leaders. He argues that, in contrast to this statement being a continuation of a long-standing conflict between religion and science, religious bodies have historically been supportive of science and that new channels of communication are opening between the two communities.

The author is a professor of theology, Memphis Theological Seminary, 168 East Parkway South, Memphis, TN 38104, USA, and a member of the AAAS Committee on Scientific Freedom and Responsibility
