Evolutionary Medical Ethics

Ezekiel 34:4

The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost; but with force and cruelty you have ruled them.

A professor of medical ethics used an old evolutionary myth to support the removal of organs from a baby born without a brain. The girl's parents wanted to donate her organs for transplant while she was still alive so that the organs would be healthy and usable. A circuit court judge, however, noting that the child was still alive, refused to allow the taking of any of the child's organs vital for life.

In support of taking the child's organs, Yale professor of medical ethics, Dr. Robert J. Levine, said, "Our brain stems do not differ substantially from the brain stem of a fish." He added that the child has "more in common with a fish than a person." These comments reflect a discredited evolutionary theory. The theory holds that in passing from fertilized egg to birth, the child goes through the evolutionary steps that led up to humans.

Did the infant have more in common with fish than humans? While the unfortunate infant had only a brain stem, every bit of genetic information in the tissue was fully human. That brain tissue operated human organs within a human body. No fish brain in the world has either of those characteristics.

Does what you believe about origins matter? Fraudulent evolutionary science leads us to a steep and slippery slope that cheapens human life, which has been created by God.

Prayer: I pray, Dear Father, that You would look upon our society and its treatment of its weakest members with gracious eyes. Equip Your people with the wisdom and resolve necessary to turn our nation back to the road that protects the lives of its most helpless members. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

The tolling of the island bell
