This is a good news/tragic news case. The incredible good news is that scientists have discovered—and photographed—that human life begins with a flash of light. Tragically, that reality will be used to destroy embryos that don’t shine as brightly. The flash occurs because when the sperm enters an egg it leads to a surge of calcium which triggers a release of zinc from the egg. As the zinc shoots out, it binds to small molecules which emit a fluorescence that can be picked up by camera...
Seeking Illusionary “Jolly Green Giant”
People come up with all sorts of crazy ideas that may look good on paper, but never work out.
Addressing Human Embryo Stem Cell Research
Many people misunderstand the issues involved with stem cell research, often because the liberal media often grossly misreports the facts. Want the truth? Read on.
Are Doctors Becoming Obsolete?
August 2018 – Article 1: The head long rush to enhance, or even replace, human capabilities with artificial intelligence (AI) is having a rapidly growing impact on the medical profession. Developments in creating self-learning computers to diagnose and treat patients are showing stunning progress. There are even suggestions that they could make some medical professionals obsolete. At the same time, they have the potential to open up a nightmarish situation where any sense of Personhood is...
The Double-Edged Sword of Gene Editing
June 2018 – Article 1: As with many scientific breakthroughs, gene editing has a helpful side and a dangerous side; a moral side and an evil side. While the rapidly-growing technique promises the potential to prevent, or cure, inheritable diseases, it also threatens to fundamentally change what it means to be a human being created in the image of God. There are two types of gene editing: therapeutic gene editing and reproductive gene editing. Both procedures involve the use of...
A New Breed of “Children”
June 2018 – Article 1: Not satisfied with God’s wondrous creation, research gurus are furiously trying to save the world by creating computer children that they consider far superior to mere humans. Google, trying to learn everything about everybody, claims its supercomputer has created an artificial intelligence (AI) child capable of learning. The company says its AutoML system (Automated Machine Learning) uses a “controller” AI, nicknamed the “parent,” to design a “child” AI architecture....
Telemedicine: The Pro-Aborts Newest ‘Tool’
Abortion rights activists have a new “tool” in their tool box: “telemed”, or telemdicine, abortions. Telemed abortions make a medical/chemical abortion (using the abortion pill RU 486) accessible on an exponential scale. With telemed abortions a pregnant woman can begin the abortion process after only a brief on-screen conference with the abortionist. Located in another state, or even another country, the abortionist then clicks to remotely open a drawer (located where the woman is) which...
GMO Humans: The Countdown Begins
Today is the last day of a landmark conference in Washington, D.C. The International Summit on Human Gene Editing . Formerly referred to as “germline intervention”, Human Gene Editing (HGE) is the creation of a genetically modified human. HGE changes made to a human child at an embryonic level will be passed through normal sexual reproduction to all future offspring. This emerging technology has profound implications for the future of the human race. Advocates hope to bring generational...
In Vitro Fertilization
In vitro fertilization (IVF) isn’t a topic that often crops up in pro-life circles, but it’s important to highlight this as an issue that affects the movement directly and has a profound impact on the way we view the dignity and value of every human life, both in and outside the womb. IVF comes with a unique set of risks. Many people have replaced the truth about IVF’s damaging and destructive processes with the widely-accepted notion that conceiving via IVF helps couples with fertility...
Transhumanism
"Maybe we're about to radically change the operating system of the human condition. If so, then this would be a really good time to make backups of our civilization." - Bruce Sterling, American science fiction author Transhumanism is a term symbolized by H+ and often used as a synonym for "human enhancement." It has developed into an international and cultural movement supporting the use of sciences and technologies to enhance human mental and physical abilities and aptitudes. Transhumanism...
