CBHD: Sex and Desire -- Joe Carter “Is it a boy or a girl?” Whether after a sonogram or a new birth, the first question we have about a child is almost always about the sex of the child. For millennia parents have anxiously awaited the answer to a question that underscores the mystery and uniqueness of being created male and female. CBHD: You Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It Too - by Daniel A. Beals Date: February 25, 2005 C. S. Lewis, in The Screwtape Letters, discussed how people can be tricked into holding very conflicting ideas without seeing the inconsistency or faulty logic in their thinking. This same idea is true today and especially can be seen in American culture. CBHD: An Open Letter to the Open Minded - by Eugene F. Diamond An Open Letter to the Open Minded by Eugene F. Diamond. Every abortion decision involves a conflict of values. The rights of the developing unborn child are in conflict with the rights of the pregnant woman. Every physician who cares for pregnant women is caring for two patients—the pregnant woman herself and the unborn child. CBHD: The Unkind Cut of Forced C-Sections - Scott B. Rae In the mid 1990’s, a pregnant woman in the early stages of labor was admitted to a Chicago area emergency room. It did not take long for the attending obstetrician to realize that there were serious problems with the pregnancy. He diagnosed the mother with placentia previa, a condition that would be potentially fatal for the fetus, should delivery continue naturally. CBHD: Poor Prognosis for Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)? by John F. Kilner A front-page story in newspapers around the U.S. reported the production of babies to provide bone marrow or umbilical cord blood for their sick siblings. The reproduction process involved producing many embryos through in vitro fertilization (IVF), testing them for how well they genetically matched their siblings, throwing away the majority who did not match well, and only implanting some of those who remained. CBHD: Designer Babies - Samuel Hensley A recent USA Today article describes the difficulties of Joe Fletcher and his family in Northern Ireland. Joe’s son, Joshua, has Diamond-Blackfan anemia, a condition that usually occurs as a spontaneous genetic mutation.1 If the affected individual reaches reproductive age, the trait is usually heritable as an autosomal dominant disease. CBHD: Three Mothers Make Baby - Nancy L. Jones Perhaps you havent heard, but the doubt in some mens minds regarding the age-old question mother-baby, father-maybe? may one day be forever removed. Results of a scientific experiment announced in April demonstrated that no paternal role was needed for the creation of a most uncommon baby mouse.1 The triumph of Japanese researchers, this mouse (named Kaguya) was the product of two female mice. CBHD: The Right to Have a Child - Dennis P. Hollinger Humans have always seemed to have an innate desire to reproduce. Not only do they have the physiological apparatus and natural drive for sexual intimacy, men and women have generally had a natural, God-given desire to bear and nurture children. CBHD: Embryo Adoption or Embryo Donation? - Paige C. Cunningham What's in a name? Wouldn't a rose by any other name smell just as sweet? It depends. Labels carry significant weight in debates of great political importance--such as the determination of the legal status of the human embryo. Labels also may reveal a great deal about motivations and can be used in an attempt to increase or decrease the value of someone or something. Next 10 Resources >> |
