The New York Times recently ran an
article about embryo adoption. You've probably all heard of IVF treatment. When a woman displeases God and He closes up her womb (Gen 20:18), she can circumvent Divine Justice and have an embryo implanted. But there are sometimes extra embryos – babies – left over from this procedure. And do you know what happens to them? They are sent to an orphanage for embryos (pictured right), where they are kept frozen, with no light, no food, hoping that one day a nice couple will love them enough to adopt them before their time runs out and, like a dog at the pound, they get murdered. This is a form of abortion.
Thank God there are some Godly men and women out there who have set up embryo adoption agencies so that Christians can save these little souls from the baby holocaust and turn them into soldiers for Christ
. Of course, mainstream media has put its predictable, negative, fake-news spin on this.
Quote:
As I.V.F. becomes more widespread and the number of spare embryos rises, giving birth with donated embryos is becoming more popular, especially among couples who oppose abortion and are struggling with infertility. But many of the agencies that offer donated embryos, including a vast majority of those supported by federal grants, are affiliated with anti-abortion rights or Christian organizations, leading some people to question whether single people, gay couples and others who might be interested could be missing out.

But the liberal outrage doesn't end there. Doctors object to the term "adoption" because it humanises embryos.
Quote:
Even the term “embryo adoption” is caught up in the rhetoric of debate over abortion.
“The issue in the medical community is that by calling it ‘adoption,’ we give too much personhood to the embryo,” said Kimberly Tyson, the marketing and program director at Snowflake Embryo Adoption in Loveland, Colo.
“As Christians, of course we believe they’re persons,” said Ms. Tyson, whose organization attracts mostly evangelical Christian clients. “But for the reproductive medical community, if you bestow humanity to the nascent human embryo, you’re interfering with other services that they like very much.”

These "other services" are abortion and the lucrative stem cell research industry
Embryos are human beings created in the image of God.
Ps 139:13-16
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. (
See also Jer 1:5)
Gen 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Embryo adoption provides a wonderful opportunity for Christians to show God's love and give an embryo the chance to grow up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and serve Him for the rest of their lives or burn in Hell for eternity.
