Garments of Skin: A Genomic Apocalypse, Book I by Kevin McMahon Publisher: Xlibris Corporation Publication Date: Friday, March 18, 2005 Number of Pages: 478 ISBN: 1413474241

Book Summary: Stem-cell research, transgenic embryos, gene therapy... all promise potential breakthroughs from the curing of congenital and degenerative disorders to dramatically extending the human life span. Scientists using genomic technology are on the brink of rewriting the book as to what it means to be "human." Is man simply material that can be endlessly manipulated without consequence? What will be the sociological and political impact on this next step in human "evolution?" How will the Church respond as technology appears to be poised to empty the Cross of its power? Is a faithless science pushing humanity headlong into a metaphysical catastrophe, a genomic apocalypse?
