There was an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal recently that is very pertinent to The Truth Project. The theme of the article was how families may soon have the ability to "order" their children with desired characteristics. You may not think this is an important issue, but it goes directly to the importance of human life and it's worth and value.
I had planned to write something about this issue, but, fortunately for us, Dr. Al Mohler has posted a blog about this very article. I will let his words speak for him.
My contribution to this discussion concerns awareness. You must take it upon yourself to know the implications of issues like genetic manipulation, invitro fertilization, euthanasia, gene therapy (i.e. stem cell research) and other sanctity of life issues. You must weigh those issues against God's word and have an informed understanding on how these issues can be addressed. This knowledge should then be used to inform your conversations and the influence you exert on individuals, organizations, and governments.
Read the article, and read Dr. Mohler's blog. Both will give you a glimpse at the future of the sanctity of life debate.
