For most theologians, theology should ultimately be used by the laity and/or the public. However, the religion and science debate has not focused on the divide between theologians and the laity. In this case study I examine the debate among theologians about human enhancement. I focus on the extent to which the structure of the debate in a “mediating organization” between the theologians and the public coincides with the structure of the debate among the theologians. I conduct a survey of participants in the organization, and find that the basic divides among the theologians are largely replicated. These results, when combined with studies of the theologians themselves and the laity, provide a more holistic understanding of the future debate about human enhancement.

关于人类增强的神学辩论：一个中介组织的案例研究

对于大多数神学家来说，神学最终应该被俗人和/或公众所采用。然而，宗教和科学的争论并没有集中在神学家和俗人之间的分歧。在本案例研究中，我研究了神学家之间关于人类增强的辩论。我关注神学家与公众之间的“调解组织”中的辩论结构与神学家之间的辩论结构相吻合的程度。我对组织中的参与者进行了调查，发现神学家之间的基本鸿沟在很大程度上被复制了。这些结果与神学家自己和俗人的研究相结合，对未来有关人类增强的辩论提供了更全面的理解。
