Words
almost fail me. Almost. For the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, I’m John
Stonestreet with The Point.
Couples using in vitro fertilization often produce many
embryos to ensure at least one success. The results are hundreds of thousands of
excess embryos.
Recently,
an Australian couple gave birth to three babies through IVF, and didn’t know
what to do with the other embryos, still frozen in storage. So . . . they turned
seven embryos into jewelry—a pendant—so mom can wear her babies “close to her
heart.”
Of
course, she had to kill them first.
This
is so vile, so ghastly, so evil, that I sat in stunned silence when I read
it.
But,
we can’t be silent about any of this for long, not the way that current IVF
procedures treat innocent human life as commodities, not the taking of innocent
life as “excess,” and not the desecration of dead children.
Every
human being from conception ‘til natural death is made in the image of God and
worthy of life and dignity. Christians cannot embrace technologies, reproductive
or cosmetic, that deny that truth. Breakpoint.
