“Artificial fertilization is to make a child without making love.” — Dr. Jérôme Lejeune
THere IS an INtrINsic connection BEtween Holy Matrimony, sexual UNION, and proCreation. INscribed IN our very Soma and Spirit, as Male and Female.
The design of proCreation IS built upon the covenant of Holy Matrimony — the Eternal UNION BEtween a Man and a Woman — a Husband and a Wife. WithIN thIS covenant, sex IS not merely physical but deeply Spiritual. It IS an act through which a Husband and Wife participate IN God’s Creative work, brINgINg forth Life IN a Way that glorifies Him and His good design.
The advent of genetic engineerINg and artificial reproductive technologies INtroduces a profound disturbance to God’s order of Human Life.
ThIS IS what I mean by the desexualization and desacralization of proCreation. ProCreation IS BEINg divorced from sex — and the sacred. It’s BEINg stripped from our BIOlogy, our Womanhood and Manhood, and from God.
IN the past, I have described these “advancements” as Humanity attemptINg to "play God." Upon reflection, I Now see that thIS misses the mark. Man does not take the place of the Creator, but INstead assumes the role of a constructor, and ultimately, an imitator. It goes without sayINg that through the use of these technologies, WE elevate Human autonomy to a place it was never meant to occupy and give rise to false doctrINes of self-Creation.
Artificial reproductive technologies remove the necessity of marital INtimacy which reconcieves the Family as functional, rather than Natural realities. It reduces Men and Women to providers of genetic material, rather than protectors and preServers of God’s Creation. IN doINg so, it dilutes the significance of their unique Creational roles withIN God’s Creational mandate and undermINes the complementary Nature of Man and Woman.
Artificial reproduction erodes the meanINg of the Child's Life, Holy Matrimony, proCreation and Family. The proper Nature of the transmission of Human Life as it was concieved and commanded by God, IS that, a Child comes INto BEINg through an act of Love, BEtween a Husband and a Wife. IN marriage, a Husband and a Wife give themselves to One another IN their totality, permanently. A Child BEcomes and IS the Fruit of their Eternal Love and the enfleshed symbol of their Oneness.
A Child IS not made, but given / GIFTED by God.
Artificial reproductive technologies distort thIS Truth. They transform the Child from a received Gift, — INto a manufactured product. The ability to brINg Life INto existence outside of a Woman’s Body commodifies and colonizes Human Life itself. Eggs, Sperm, and Wombs (WOMEN) are bought and sold, turnINg the Mystery and Miracle of Life INto a merciless marketplace.
Artificial reproductive technologies impose the domINance of Man X machINe over the ORIGINs of Human Life. The Child’s existence BEcomes the result of a calculation and manipulation, fundamentally detached from the act of Love that Naturally brINgs life INto BEINg.
If Children are no longer recognized as Gifts BElongINg to God and BEstowed upon us by God, they INevitably BEcome subjects of Man-made systems and a (Satanic) State. It draws Humanity further INto BElongINg to EARTH, rather than ETERNITY.
Artificial reproductive technologies perpetrate an INjustice by reducINg Children to subjects of scientific experimentation, with no One held accountable for the consequences. At it’s core, thIS IS a large-scale Human experiment with INconclusive, uncertaIN, unprecedented and unpredictable outcomes. Though, it doesn’t take a genius to foresee it havINg a degenerative impact on Human VITAlity and Life.
Consider the Wisdom of 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟰:𝟮𝟯.
But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise. 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟰:𝟮𝟯
Here, Paul IS speakINg about Abraham’s two Sons.
Ishmael — Born of Hagar, the slave Woman. He rePresents BEINg “Born accordINg to the flesh” — Human effort to fulfill God’s Promises without relyINg on His timINg or Plan.
Isaac — Born of Sarah, the free Woman. He rePresents BEINg “Born through the Promise” — God’s Miraculous fulfillment of His Word and Will, by Grace, not Human strivINg.
From wHere I AM stand,
It seems that artificial reproductive technologies are BEINg used IN Ways that mirror and metastasize the Fall’s cause, rather than mitigate the Fall’s effects.
Contrary to what WE have BEen taught and told IN the Death culture WE Live IN — BIOlogical realities are already optimally designed for Human thrival. God’s Creation, despite its fallen state, remaINs a TESTament to His omniBEnevolence.
Yet, the more pervasive and "necessary" reproductive technologies appear / are, the less critically they are examINed. As reproductive dis-ease rises, as it "hits Home" for more people, critical discernment dimINishes. The more WE double down on medical and technological "advancements" under the guise of progress, the more detached WE BEcome from God’s design and dependent on Man x machINes manipulation. WE render ourselves Creationally INcompetent. Slowly but surely, WE edge toward a post-Human future. The normalization of in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and surrogacy IN less than half a century demonstrates Humanity’s astonishINg ability to adapt to, accept and adopt even the most uNnatural and INHumane practices.
ThIS may seem like such a sidebar, but stay with me.
George Orwell's INfamous “1984” comes to mINd as I reflect on the desexualization and desacralization of proCreation.
IN “1984”, the Purpose of scientific reproduction IS to sever personal bonds and by extension, to secure unwaverINg loyalty to the Party. By stigmatizINg sex (the Natural means of reproduction) and promotINg artificial INsemINation. IN doINg so, the Party seeks to eradicate Love, INtimacy and Trust — All of which could divert allegiance from the state to personal relationships. ThIS strategy IS designed to suppress rebellion by cultivatINg a submissive, emotionally detached populace, tHereby solidifyINg the Party's control over society. ThIS IS not just a “sci-fi” book — it IS a cautionary tale, and ultimately, a form of predictive programmINg. If you Know, you Know.
The desexualization and desacralization of proCreation IS not merely a technological or ethical issue; it IS a Spiritual crisis / WAR that strikes at the HeART of God’s design and DestINy for Humanity. By restorINg the covenantal Truth of proCreation, WE affirm that every Child IS not a product of Human INgenuity or INventiveness, but a TESTament to God’s INtegrity.
And so, WE must Choose.
Will WE contINue down the road of artificiality, driftINg further from the Order God has ordaINed? Or Will WE return to and restore the opulent design and DestINy He has set BEfore us?
The Future of our Children — and the generations that follow — rest on how WE Choose to answer these questions.
