After Adam: ethics, transhumanism and Christian faith

This year's Ethelbert Lecture is given by Revd Prebendary Dr John Daniels

Human augmentation by means of technology is already becoming a reality around us. If what it means to be human is changing, what will it then mean to live well – and should Christians accept an upgrade? 

John Daniels has been an Anglican priest since 1992, latterly serving as Local Ministry Officer and Warden of Readers in Hereford Diocese. His background is in earth sciences, having gained a PhD in Physical Oceanography in the 1980s. Following a brief period as a software engineer, he completed his ordination training with a Master’s degree in Religious Studies. John’s academic interests over the years have been wide-ranging. His main concern throughout his ministry has been to help ordinary Christians better understand various facets of the times we live in, and to think through what an authentic Christian response might look like.
