2492. Christians and the Fertility Industry – Lisa Cooper, 9/5/24

This podcast episode sheds light on the alarming issues within the unregulated fertility industry, addressing ethical implications, the impact of donor anonymity on individuals, and the exploitation of vulnerable populations like college students. Cooper discusses the consequences of the industry's lack of oversight, exemplified by cases of fertility fraud and the challenges faced by donor-conceived individuals in tracing their biological roots. The conversation raises crucial questions about the morality of procedures like IVF and the broader implications of commodifying human reproduction, ultimately questioning whether Christians can engage with this industry ethically, especially in light of recent proposals for federal subsidies amidst profound ethical shortcomings.
