Welcome to Every Thought Captive, I’m Phil Steiger.
The Abraham Center of Life, an embryo bank in Texas, is on the cutting edge of both medical technology and cultural change. The Center not only allows parents to adopt spare embryos, but it allows them to custom order children as well. Think of the possibilities. A parent could imagine the best life for their child and then pick the smartest, tallest, strongest, and fastest genes to create their new child.
There are dangers lurking in the darkness, however. This kind of consumerism will corrode our virtue. Take love, for instance. Unconditional love, the kind God shows you, is often expressed in moments of failure and disappointment. We love the best when we love the imperfect. If we begin to custom order our children, we will train ourselves to love children the way we like our hamburgers-they are good only when we have them our way. In stark contrast to this kind of selfishness is the love God shows me-a broken but sincere child of God.
