This volume goes back to a conference held in Basel on May 22 and 23, 2008, entitled “GenEthics and Religion: Advancing the Public Dialogue on Human Gene Technology and Bioethics as Reflected in Religious Thought” – a joint event organized by the Faculty of Theology of Basel University, the Science and Ethics Advisory Group (SEAG) of F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, and S. Karger Publishers.

The editors wish to thank the F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG for their generous support of the conference and this volume. They would also like to express their gratitude to the Karger Publishing House, especially to Messrs. Thomas and Steven Karger and Mrs. Gabriela Karger. Their initiative was essential for this enterprise; they served as active members of the organizing committee and accepted this volume for publication. We also thank S. Karger Publishers for untiring support throughout the publication process.

The editors wish to dedicate this volume to the memory of Mr. Steven Karger who passed away several weeks before the conference, on March 5, 2008, at the age of 49 years.
