I enjoyed reading Sherwin's book which provided me with new insight into the foundation for a Jewish perspective of biotechnology. Its style of writing is accessible to lay people as well as scientists and scholars in the humanities. A nice critique of different religion-based approaches to bioethical decisions. -- Lee M. Silver, Ph.D., Author of Remaking Eden; Professor of Molecular Biology & Public Affairs, Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Golems Among Us uses an ancient legend as a catalyst for a fascinating journey through laboratories, clinics, and courtrooms as we confront the impacts of cloning, genetic engineering, and the potential merger of man and machine. Byron Sherwin's compassion, humor, and intellect provide a moral compass to help us navigate through astonishing, promising, and sometimes perilous developments in biotechnology. -- Lori Andrews, Author of Future Perfect: Confronting Decisions About Genetics Traces the golem story as a prelude to understanding the ways he finds it relevant to a number of modern issues. * Lerner News-Star * Fascinating...thoughtful, absorbing treatment.... Anyone looking to make intelligent decisions about the future would do well to read his work. * The Reporter * Sherwin does a valuable service for the reader in presenting these novel parallels between the golem and problems in biotechnology. * Foreword Reviews * This well-researched book looks at issues with which humanity needs to come to terms, both morally and ethically. * CHOICE * Provocative because it uses a legend about the creation of new beings as means for assessing all human power and potential. -- Martha B. Holstein and Rabbi Peter S. Knobel * Lancet * A fascinating example of applied Jewish philosophy.... We can find...new language for expressing our commtiment to social justice. * Jewish Currents * Enchanting.... A captivating and significant book that is appropriate for the layperson as well as the scientist. * Jewish Book World * Fascinating. * Judaism.Com * An important, unique work. * Naturalgenesis.Net Naturalgenesis.Net Naturalgenesis.Net *
Mr. Sherwin briefly traces the fascinating history of the golem legend in Western culture, then shows what lessons it holds for us in navigating a safe journey-philosophically, theologically, ethically, and in public policy-through the minefield of twenty-first-century social and biological engineering in which we now stand. "A fascinating journey....Sherwin's compassion, humor, and intellect provide a moral compass to help us navigate through astonishing, promising, and sometimes perilous developments in biotechnology."-Lori Andrews.
