Sol said: “My mother survived the...

A Valued Friend Retires

August 2018 – Article 2: Linda Powell, a dear friend and tireless advocate for the sanctity of all human life, has retired as GRTL's Treasurer, a position she has held since 2015. “I just felt it was time for me to step back a little and take some time for myself and my family,” Powell said. Georgia Right to Life (GRTL) President, Ricardo Davis, said Powell will be greatly missed: “Linda’s passion was obvious in everything she did. Her dedicated and professional attitude has had a positive...

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...

Organ Harvest Stampede

July 2018 – Article 2: The organ transplant business—and it is a business—continues to find unethical ways to increase the number of donors. Premature declarations of brain dead patients, and in some cases accusations of murder, haunt an industry that tries to portray itself as compassionate and responsible. The reason is obvious: there are more patients looking for organs than there are donors. The latest data shows nearly 115,000 people are seeking an organ transplant, with more than...

Bucks for Babies

July 2018 – Article 1: (Note: While researching the April article, Surrogacy Out of Control, Georgia Right to Life determined that surrogacy in Georgia is virtually unchecked. This is the follow-up discussion of that finding). Need money for a down payment on a house? Trying to save up to send your children to college? Looking for ways to start a small business? Not to worry. The seven Georgia fertility centers use such enticing advertising to lure women into becoming surrogate mothers with...

Irish Rejoice over the Freedom to Kill

June 2018 – Article 2: Pro-life advocates around the globe are mourning the results of the May 25, 2018 referendum in Ireland that repealed the Eighth Amendment to the country’s constitution that currently bans abortion under almost all circumstances. Added to the constitution in 1983, the Eighth Amendment was originally passed by referendum with a sixty-seven-per-cent majority – the same percentage of voters that voted to repeal it on May 25. The vote has had a profound and surprisingly...

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...

Surrogacy Out of Control

April 2018 – Article 3: (Note: While researching this article, Georgia Right to Life determined that surrogacy in Georgia is virtually unchecked. That issue will be discussed in depth in the next newsletter). Sometimes, what starts as a well-intentioned idea, ends up leading to an evil result. Efforts to help couples conceive children is a prime example. Last month, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee signed into law the Uniform Parentage Act, which legalizes commercializing gestational...

2018 Session: It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over

June 2018 – Article 2: The 2018 Georgia General Assembly was very busy for Georgia Right to Life (GRTL). This year the primary focus was the “Woman’s Right to Recover Act” (HB 882). This legislation was sponsored by Rep. Wes Cantrell (R-22). It would give women who have been harmed during an abortion the right to take legal action against an abortionist. Additionally, it would give a private right of action (allow women to bring a lawsuit, even though such a remedy may not be explicitly...

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....
