title: [More than genes--but less than a human being? Reflections on a survey presented by a group nominated by the Church Council].
abstract: The article is a critical analysis of ethical reasoning in a report on the ethics of applied genetics issued by the Church of Norway. Our main conclusion is that the major issues remain unsolved. The report fails to reach unambiguous conclusions on the basis of traditional theological concepts. Consequently, its arguments rely, heavily on secular thought, and its conclusions are not essentially different from those reached by a secular approach.
