The Role of God Goes to………

This article is a commentary response on the article linked above.
It’s unbelievable how far we’ve come today. When a couple is told they cannot have children that doesn’t mean that they won’t have children. It just means that the way the child is made will not be conventional. Since God is no obstacle for most people today (I say that with sadness), morality is drowned in selfish ambition to get what one wants.
It’s ironic that the people who cannot conceive naturally can, in a lab, choose whether they want a boy or girl. Now as we read about in the above article, IVF or In Vitro Fertilization consists of fertilizing many eggs in a petri dish and “discarding” the ones you don’t want. Discarding? That is a sick way to make a child! You simply kill off their siblings in the process and get your choice. Why is it this practice is accepted? I guess it’s because we’re suppose happy that those unfortunate people who couldn’t have children and are now parents. I know I’m not. I’m never happy when children die in the process of making someones dream come true.
The sickest part of the story is that the people in the article are not infertile, but they just didn’t want to have to care for a child who would require any extra attention. I know a special needs child isn’t ideal but who are we to play the role of God? These people snuffed out an unnumbered amount of lives the day they chose who would live. I also wonder if they realize how fortunate they are to be given the responsibility by God to be parents at all. I dare say no. We are suppose to all feel bad that they tried to play God and it didn’t work out like they planned.
Instead of loving their son, they are suing the people involved. They are also showing their love for their son by claiming they would have considered terminating him had they know. I pray he never knows the truth of how his parents really feel. With parents like that who needs assassins. I hope these people learn to love and appreciate what they have for his sake. I also pray God will touch their lives and bring them to Himself.
In all of this we see the diminishing of God’s will and taking over of man’s selfish will. God has been know to withhold things for reasons unseen to us and in His timing give what He wills. We live in a place where if we can’t get it naturally, we artificially obtain it regardless of the moral implications. I pray we seek God in all things and not the counsel of the ungodly. God Bless.
