The Dark Side of IVF and Genetic Selection

April 26, 2024 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

IVF

The cheerful glee with which IVF and genetic selection technology is presented is disturbing. Apparently, these people have failed to look beyond themselves and their own wishes and consider the moral ramifications involved in what they’re doing.

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
