Surrogacy Ethics: Biblical Principles, Legal Debates, and Parenthood- Patience Griswold

The WallBuilders Show

Join us for a profound exploration into the ethics of surrogacy from biblical, historical, and constitutional perspectives. We delve into the moral and legal implications, including legislation that opens the doors to the potential for abuse by drug cartels and sex traffickers, and the unsettling prospects of genetic modification and designer babies. We also spotlight how faith-based organizations champion the sanctity of life through adoption and foster care, reinforcing our collective commitment to preserving life at all stages.
Massachusetts' new parentage equality bill is shaking up traditional notions of parenthood by legalizing commercial genetic surrogacy and redefining what it means to be a parent. This legislation replaces terms like 'mother' and 'father' with gender-neutral language and shifts the basis of parenthood from biology to intent. We'll unravel the controversial aspects as the bill permits surrogacy contracts to be validated even after natural conception. This raises significant moral and legal questions that are too crucial to ignore.
We argue that children's well-being should always come first. Utilizing biblical principles, we advocate for the protection of children's innocence and vulnerability. Furthermore, we address the commercial implications of turning surrogacy into a business, drawing critical parallels to other profit-driven industries.
