In the past, the primary threat to the patient as person was a medical utilitarianism that would sacrifice the individual for the collective, that would coercively (ab)use a person for the sake of an in‐group's health or happiness. Today, the threat is not only from vainglorious social groups but also from valorized genes and genomes. An over‐valuation of genes risks making persons seem epiphenomenal. A central thesis of this article is that religious healthcare professionals have unique resources to combat this. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
