Yaffe discusses genetic engineering

By Sharla Grass | May 3, 2011

Genetic engineering is only permissible by Jewish law when it is used to preserve life, and it should not be used in pursuit of specific personality and physical traits, Rabbi Shlomo Yaffe, Chabad's scholar-in-residence from Harvard University, said during a talk in Kemeny Hall on Tuesday. "Jewish law would frown on cosmetic designer babies but would encourage us to do everything we can to save a potential future child from a disease that actually poses a danger to them," he said. Although the Torah was written many centuries before genetic engineering technology was developed, Yaffe said it can still be used to address modern questions.
