Fast Food Fertility?
Are you kidding me? Have I been asleep for so long that I missed the fact that now you can order up a designer baby? I just read an article posted on World Magazine's website. What, pray tell, are we thinking? Or better yet, are we thinking at all? The pendulum has swung far away from "being created in the image of God" to now "creating" a child as if you were ordering items off of the menu of your favorite fast food chain.
With what is going on in the UK and the US we are witnessing a slippery slope effect. First it was restricted to testing for childhood illnesses and then it was testing for cancer in later adult life. I've got a question. What if, say in the next 10 or 15 years, they discover a cure for some forms of cancer? How will they justify all of this legistlation?
It seems that the "lifeboat" excercise has found solid footing in the real world. Perhaps it always had and I was just too naive to see it. One thing that is definitely been lost in all of this is that now people's value has been reduced to the disease and/or illness that they have instead of it being grounded in the image of God. My question is who now draws the line between "good" and "bad" in regards to what a person it worth? It's ironic that they don't want the Christian to "legislate" their morality, but the morals they turn into laws under the guise of "freedom of choice" are far more substandard than God's view of human beings.
Hold on a second...
Uh, yes ma'am, I'd like one of your daily specials. Can I substitute green eyes for brown and I'd like them to have jet black hair, hold the cancer, give me a pinch of narcissism and a side of IQ. Thanks, that will be all.

About 4 years ago, I heard a radio advertisement for a fertility company in California who would fertilize several of the mothers eggs and then let you know which ones had the physical attributes you preferred, such as eye and hair color. They were also going to let you know if there were any "unwanted mental conditions" with your embryo. While there are ethical questions about the remaining fertilized eggs, what really made me furious was I heard this ad on The Fish Christian Radio in Anaheim California! I was so angry that a radio station claiming to witness to the masses the message of Christ would allow themselves to broadcast a message that implies there is only value in a life that is "perfect". My grandfather's wife, Catherine, has a grandson with Down's syndrome. He is a loving, smart and funny young man with a lot of people who love him, and I'm pretty sure he was her favorite grandson!
I called the station and left a message that I was incredibly disappointed and angry that they would assume that people who have children with disabilities would have chosen something else if they had the opportunity. Most of the Christians who have disabled kids are the best examples of what Christ did in our world; they love... unconditionally.
I didn't get a response from the station, but I never heard that ad again. I probably wasn't the only parent who called and reminded them that children are a blessing from God, not an obligation.
it is amazing how flippant society has become towards some of these issues. it seems that humans are now valued for only what they are able to contribute (what can they do for me, or society) rather than having any real intrinsic worth. it's a real shame.
