Abstract:

Genetic Engineering has conquered different arenas and life's various forms and caused drastic changes in them. Today, with the help of biotechnology and genetic engineering, mankind has reached high summits. One such summit is the decoding of human constituting particle which is the source of physical, behavioral features as well as intellectual power. This is nothing but the gene. Today man has known the structure, position and the function of the gene and D.N.A. He also is able to modify the structure, replace the elements, making new links, and programming on the D.N.A. The corollary of programming, combination, and regeneration of human D.N.A is the production of a human being favored spiritually, mentally, and physically. In other words, human being, at the early stage of forming the fetus, till time of birth and after, all his features, the power to think and reason, his skill, inclinations and emotions are under his control; they are also determined and produced by human being. This is calculated as challenging to religion and jurisprudence. This study is an attempt to recite some of the important challenges and answer them according to the principles of religion and jurisprudence.
