Genesis 1-3 is foundational to our discussion of biotechnology because of its teaching concerning human beings as those who are created by God in his image. There are things we may do with respect to plants and animals that we may not do with respect to human beings, by virtue of the nature of human creation. Human beings are created in the image of God. In other ‘words, human nature is not something we fashion for ourselves, but something that we receive.
