Resources and Links (10-20 of 178 resources) CBHD: The Advent of the Artificial Womb - Scott B. Rae A recent report in the journal Nature speculated about whether or not artificial wombs are on the scientific horizon and what ethical issues they might raise. Experiments that are aimed at helping premature neonates survive and IVF embryos to implant more successfully are fostering predictions that the artificial womb may one day move from science fiction to reality. CBHD: Sex Selection Via "Sperm-Sorting” - Agneta M. Sutton Editor's note: The following commentary is based on articles originally appearing in The Seattle Times, the BBC, and The Times. These articles were posted on the Center's web site on October 17, 2002 under the news heading "New Technique Lets Parents Pick Baby's Gender." Sex selection by means of infanticide is condemned as outrageously immoral by the Western world. CBHD: Freezing Eggs, Not Embryos - Scott B. Rae Last week a British infertility specialist reported a breakthrough in which a healthy baby was born to a woman whose eggs had been frozen and then thawed and fertilized in vitro. The baby is now three months old and in good health. This is great news for couples who want to use IVF but who do not want to face the prospect of destroying the leftover embryos that are commonly created by this technology. CBHD: Hurtling Toward Eugenics… Again - C. Ben Mitchell Preimplantation genetic screening is the latest assault against a truly human future. According to a report in the 27 February Journal of the American Medical Association, a 30-year-old woman has chosen to use the technique because she carries the rare gene for early onset Alzheimer's disease. CBHD: Eugenics in the Springtime - C. Ben Mitchell "Designer babies" will be all the rage this Spring. So, apparently, will be historical amnesia. Historical amnesia is a tragic genetic illness. Sadly, it is affecting increasing numbers of people in our culture. CBHD: Republicans and Abortion - Francis J. Beckwith Editor's Note: This commentary is in response to an article by Eileen Padberg called "Gender Gap, Republicans, and Abortion" that appeared in the Los Angeles Times Orange County Edition on Sunday, July 9, 2000. This article can be read by visiting http://www.latimes.com/. CBHD: Our Great Regime Supreme - Harold O.J. Brown Dr. Leroy Carhart of Nebraska was in the Supreme Court building [yesterday] to hear that eminent tribunal by a 5-4 vote, overrule the Nebraska law that prohibits Dr. Carhart's particular technique of baby butchery. CBHD: The Human Embryo - R. Martin Palmer Life begins like everything else, at the beginning. At the moment of fertilization, a new human life begins. The human embryo is a being; and being human, she is a human being. She is person and not property because no property has the property of building itself. Everything necessary to make the new human being-the entire blueprint necessary to build a human being capable of going to the moon and putting a foot on the moon-is there in the very beginning. CBHD: A Creative Option - Linda K. Bevington October 15, 1999 An increasing number of couples today arebevington_1999-10-15_print.htm facing the pain and frustration associated with infertility. As a result, many are turning to reproductive technologies to assist them in fulfilling their desire for a child. The physical and financial costs of assisted reproduction are often high, and the costs to the embryos conceived are often greater still. CBHD: The Drive to Have a Child "Like Me” - Gilbert Meilaender Christians do not underestimate the sheer human significance of biological ties. We understand the deep desire to have children. But we must also constantly remind ourselves that children are not our possession; they are gifts of God. They exist not simply to fulfill us but as the sign that, by God's continued blessing, self-giving love is creative and fruitful. Next 10 Resources >> |
