(I don't think the Catholic Church would say yes, but perhaps other Christians this would sit well with.)
Pro-life ping! 👶
If embryos are a distinct life, and are destroyed, where does that life go? Does it go to be with God? Considering that God is Love, maybe so.
Now. Let’s pervert that logic:
We better create lots and lots of embryos because God loves them.
And then, maybe that means the embryo destroyer is a murderer, and the victims go to God.
I won’t be doing any IVF.
I had never thought of that viewpoint before, but it stuck with me.
My thinking on abortion finally matured during the Scamdemic when I learned that NIH Director Francis Collins supported abortion and research on aborted fetal tissues. I don't support it.
7/27/2021: "COVID-19 vaccines and aborted fetuses"
In November 2020, it was widely claimed on social media, including this Facebook post with over 160,000 views, that the AstraZeneca vaccine contains MRC-5 cells from lung tissue of a male fetus which was aborted in the 1960s. This specific claim has been fact checked by Associated Press, Full Fact, Politifact, Reuters and Snopes and found to be false. However, the MRC-5 cell line was used in the preclinical testing of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
AstraZeneca did use the HEK 293 cell line to manufacture its vaccine (and Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna in the design of their vaccines). These cells originate from a fetus which was aborted in the Netherlands in 1973. The fetus was aborted legally at the time for other reasons, and not for the purposes of vaccine research. Alex Kasprak at Snopes has summarised the cell line’s origin story, which began with a Canadian scientist’s research into cancer.
Over the decades that followed, these cells have been cloned and replicated, many times.
Over the last couple years when IVF came back into the news, it struck me that it was not right to create surplus embryos, thought that is the standard proedure.
This whole thing was wrong.
Glad this guy’s lightbulb went on.
