EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fear of genetic research" delves into the ethical concerns surrounding genetic science. The conceptual artwork portrays a desolate Garden of Eden, adorned with symbolic elements like a serpent, apple core, and the Tree of Knowledge transformed into a double helix structure. These powerful symbols represent religious and moral apprehensions about the potential to engineer and manipulate life through genetic science. The image evokes deep-rooted fears associated with tampering with nature's order. It highlights the tension between scientific progress and traditional beliefs by alluding to biblical narratives such as Adam and Eve's temptation by the serpent in consuming the forbidden fruit. The snake slithering amidst discarded apple cores serves as a reminder of humanity's inherent flaws and sinful nature. By intertwining these religious motifs with modern concepts like DNA, genetic engineering, and medical ethics, this thought-provoking artwork prompts viewers to contemplate both the promises and perils that come hand-in-hand with advancements in bio-technology. It raises questions about our role as mere mortals "aping God" challenging us to consider if we are overstepping boundaries or playing divine creators. Ultimately, this photograph from Science Photo Library captures society's collective unease regarding genetic modification while urging us to engage in meaningful discussions about its implications on our understanding of life itself.
