	The Lord Whose Name Is Jealous :: Desiring God

	Is God jealous still today? \| open source theology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)

		In A Jealous God, award-winning journalist Pamela R. Winnick exposes some of the more unsavory and dangerous characteristics of the scientific establishment that have contributed to the erosion of human dignity and led to the abuse of individuals for the sake of science.
		By de-personalizing the subjects of their experiments, these scientists are able to divert attention from the human lives they are abusing and killing and shield themselves from the moral responsibilities and ethical implications of their actions.
		A Jealous God exposes many instances where similar excuses have been used by scientists and academics in aggressively pursuing dangerous and deadly experiments on human subjects, fetuses, and embryos, forcibly mandating "fertility control" for "undesirables," and promoting eugenics, infanticide, and even euthanasia.
