Yesterday, many of you sent me a link to a CNN story by Elizabeth Cohen:
“Surrogate Offered $10,000 to Abort Baby”
Here we see The Sarah Syndrome gone wild.
1 genetic father + 1 wife + 1 anonymous egg donor + 2 IVF embryos + 1 surrogate birthmother + 2 adoptive parents = 1 child alive, 1 child dead, and 1 social and legal mess
I am afraid of the fact that cases such as these are getting court time. The more court rulings that are made on sperm donor, IVF, and surrogacy cases, the more…I don’t know, I guess the more we formally and publicly despise, defile, and – God help us! – abandon the one-flesh union and adoption as the means of parentage in our country. And so may times the children involved in these cases are treated as property with no individual rights of their own.
We are different from the world, Baptized Christians. Always have been, always will be. Remember that.
