After a long hiatus, a CNN article peaked my attention.
Here's an article dealing with ethical and health issues surrounding IVF embryos that are unused, but not unwanted. The concerns and emotions parents have regarding their stored embryos make me believe the line for when life begins may be a movin' during our day and age.
Also seen on CNN, Kourtney Kardashian highlights the delicate dance going on in many young minds today regarding decisions of life (and, let's say it, death). I must believe that the regrets Kourtney points to is the natural law whispering to one's conscience as we weigh life and death decisions in our minds. The line regarding "when does life begin? how are those few cells life?" is so blurred in our times. It is encouraging to see young women like Ms. Kardashian heartily yearn to do what is right with with the life entrusted to her - not just with her own life. So many people ascribe to "well, I wouldn't do it, but I don't want to tell other people not to do it" (key: "it" rhymes with smahshmorshin - credit to "Knocked Up"). But her struggle over the decision and the subtle tugging of her heart (perhaps conscience?) to keep the baby gives hope that perhaps the line is becoming less blurred. There is hope that this generation will realize that natural law dramatically affects the hearts and minds of all people.
According to natural law, the lines of life and death cannot be moved. But the way we perceive them has been moved. Abbreviation: It's a PR game! But there is hope that more and more people are in touch with the hardwired realities within themselves.
See ya at the line,

Just wanted to say that I read it. I think you're so on about the “I wouldn't do it but couldn't tell other people not to” ideology. But the real problem is people not taking the responsibility and really thinking about what their actions might and could (no matter what's used) bring if they have sex. I think having sex no matter what the situation one should think about "would I really want to have a kid with this person right now?" and if the answer is no they shouldn't have sex. JJW
