Medical Technology (like Genetic Engineering) has advanced to the point that “black and white” answers get blurred to shades of gray. But with all the different scenarios that we discussed during the Bible study, some ethical clarity can still be found by returning to the bedrock Christian principles of the Great Commandments. Matthew 22:37 Jesus said.. ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 “This is the first and great commandment.  39 “And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ And then Jesus gave us the application of that second law when He taught us the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12). Paraphrased it says “Treat others like you want to be treated.”  

      Treat Embryos like you wanted to be treated when YOU were an Embryo.

      Treat Babies like you wanted to be treated when YOU were a Baby.

      Treat the Sick like you want to be treated when YOU are Sick.

      Treat the Elderly like you want to be treated when YOU are Elderly.
