Good ol’ advanced technology, my old friend. Unfortunately I’m not here to have a chat, but to tell you how you are a mistake, once again.
Advanced Medical Technology = Advanced Moral Decisions
I’ve been listening to several Charlie Kirk videos (terrible that he’s gone) and I, as anyone would, noticed how much abortion came up. Obviously killing children because you don’t want to take responsibility for having sex is truly insane, selfish, evil, and hedonistic. Several the college students bring up the following question however:
What about when the mother or child’s life is in danger?
Really we know they probably don’t care about the child’s life, just the mothers. Charlie noted how there is possibly never a medical reason for an abortion. In really any of the cases you could just do a C-section instead of an abortion because its faster and safer.
But let’s go on a hypothetical…
Let’s pretend that we have a mother who is pregnant and about to die because of it. Somehow our only options have boiled down to:
- Kill the mother
- Kill the child
What are you supposed to do? It’s absolutely crazy to think there is just an “easy answer”. You are having to decide between two innocent human lives. What’s the moral decision? Which of those decisions are you willing to go before God and try to justify?
No Medical Technology = No Moral Decisions
Now imagine this same situation:
- Kill the mother
- Kill the child
However, now, we don’t have any medical technology. Which one do we decide to keep? Actually, do don’t decide anything. We let God decide. We let God make the hard moral decision. When you go to face God you can ask him why did he choose option 1 or 2. We would let God handle the morality of human life and we would maintain our place, far away from it.
By taking on more and more of the privileges of God, we have inadvertently also taken on the responsibility.
