By Hilary WhiteSTOCKHOLM, May 28, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Swedish officials have granted permission under a new law for three families to create “saviour sibling” embryos to be used to obtain stem cells for treatment of seriously ill children. The families will have embryos created in vitro,…

Sorry Sweden, the U.S. already beat you to the punch. This type of sibling selection has already been done at the Fairchild Children’s Hospital in Minnesota.

This is an evil that sneaks under the radar because it’s nothing more than IVF - which is condemned by the Church, but generally accepted in American society. The selected sibling is the lucky one that gets to be planted, born and live the rest of their lives. The harvesting of stem cells from the umbilical cord blood after delivery is not evil. The rest of the embryos may or may not get implanted later.

But still, if they’ll select based on a donor-match for a sibling today, then why not blue eyes and blond hair tomorrow?
 
When our second child was small she tried to figure out the family. She could see why we got married; and she could see why we wanted a child, but she wondered why we needed a second child.

I can just see trying to tell her we needed some spare parts for the older child. :rolleyes:
 
I’m from Sweden and I’m ashamed of my country. I’m actually scared of living here because I think that God will probably lose his patience and send down a giant meteor and oblitirate the entire country. I know that’s what I would do! Good thing I’m not God.

In Sweden you’re seen as a mad fanatic if you even whisper that you are against abortion or against experimenting on embryos. I have been shut out of every single Swedish discussion forum just for politely expressing my views. I don’t think that a woman who has an abortion is a murderer, I think that women have abortions because they are pressured in to it and because they don’t believe that the unborn child is human. Society should instead help these women so that they don’t feel pressured and the church should teach what an abortion really is. MEN need to take resposibility and GROW UP! Almost every woman I know who has had an abortion says that they were pressured by their boyfriend or husband.

I don’t know what to do. I would like to fight this evil, but I don’t think I can take any more abuse.
 
Hatter,

Wouldn’t that be interesting if the U.S. had to reopen Ellis Island to receive political refugees from Europe who opposed abortion and euthanasia?
 
I am sorry to hear about Sweden. The Bible warns that a time will come when people will no longer endure sound doctrine. In fact, Christ tells his disciples about many bad things that will occur in the future, but also says that we should not be troubled by these things. Pray and seek the support of your Christian brothers and sisters. Some people believe they have been given freedom but what they have accepted is a deception.

While women are meant to bear the child, it is very strange that the man in the relationship is never spoken of in connection to the child. Where is he? Isn’t this a mutually agreed upon situation? Or was the pleasure put ahead of the possible consequences? As people act contrary to the teachings of the Church, the devil exploits these situations and while turning their ears from God, they put their trust in men who do not have their best interests at heart.

God bless,
Ed
