Christian Principles for Assisted Procreation - The Bible and Bioethics

The author notes, "The Bible does provide rich resources for bioethics, sufficient for the difficult questions we must face. But this is certainly not apparent unless we can learn to search for the broad principles of God’s Word. If the goal is to find biblical passages that provide specific, normative answers for each of the bioethical issues, we are bound to be frustrated. But if we are imbued with the Spirit of Truth, if we take the whole Bible, including not only the rules but also the history, the poetry, and grand unifying themes into account, and if we attend centrally to the plan of salvation through Jesus Christ, then I believe we have the necessary resources for biblical bioethics."
