If you haven’t been following the discussion from the “Stem Cell” entry.  I want to bring some thoughts to the forefront.  Jeff Richardson argues that we need to acknowledge the inevitability of our direction and develop consistency on some important issues:

Unrestricted personal freedom – no matter how much governmental oppression it requires – is our destiny. It is a Dickian dystopia approaching quickly where personhood will become a highly subjective classification unless moral voices can somehow reverse the trend of personal choice and the veneration of human life (as opposed to its sanctity).

Christians, to be “successful” with issues like abortion, stem cell research, GMH, cloning, etc. are going to have to go back to the drawing board and develop a consistent position on human life (biology), personhood (theology) and freedom (policy). Otherwise, little by little, we will continue to lose ground on what I believe to be a “high view” of humanity.

So, I ask you, wise reader: What does it mean to be human?  How do we live as salt and life in this world?  In what ways do we best love God and love His people?
