Ethical Questions, Who Has Answers?
January 31st 2009 15:31
The "Miracle in Bellflower" post I did recently concerned a woman who gave birth to eight babies at one time, ranging in size from 1.8 to 3.4 lbs. Now that more information is coming out, some interesting ethical questions are arising.
This woman (age unknown) is apparently unmarried and lives with her parents in a small house. She also has six other children, under 7 years of age! She is now the mother of 14 kids, all under the age of 7. Can you imagine that? Apparently she had in-vitro fertilization by a doctor who implanted all the babies, expecting most of them to either die or be killed before they could be born. The term is "selective reduction" and sounds fairly innocent, doesn't it, folks? It's meaning, however is anything but "innocent." The term literally means killing some babies and letting others live (unless the "mother" changes her mind at the last minute and wants them all dead, of course. In which case it's called "choice").
As far as anyone knows, this family is of modest means. So who paid the horrifically expensive price for the in-vitro, pre-natal care and delivery? Were the eggs hers? Who was the sperm donor? And what kind of a doctor would agree to do such a "procedure" in the first place? Is she just doing this because she loves kids? Or because she wants to make the Guinness Book? Millions of babies are murdered every year by women who don't want them. Now we have one who wants so many, it boggles the mind.
Don't misunderstand me, folks. I'm delighted that all the babies lived and are doing well. But in-vitro fertilization carries some necessary questions and ethical problems. We have people who want to "play God" by killing children for the sake of convenience (like B.O. (B.S.) and his ugly gang) taking the rights of life away and thumbing their collective noses at God. We also have others who seem impressed with their own ability to "create life" via in-vitro fertilization. I find it very disturbing that some women who don't want children get to kill them (at our expense) and others who want huge numbers of children are able to visit a "doctor" and massively reproduce at will.
This is just another case of science being elevated and God being forgotten. We can't keep doing this, folks. It'll turn out badly for everyone if we don't stop "playing God" and let Him take care of things in His own way.

I am a bit puzzled by this, and wonder why.
