Genesis 1:26-27 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [2] and over all the creatures that move along the ground." (27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him;

male and female he created them.

The New BioethicalConundrums

“Each of us as individual Christians, and as members of communities in the body of Christ, must diligently seek the face of the Lord and immerse ourselves in his Word. We must daily put on Christ. We must pray unceasingly for wisdom. We must demand that our leaders, both within and outside the church, confront those technological advances. And we must choose to stand together as one eternally transformed body, today, and in the challenging days to come.

May God grant us the wisdom, the strength and the love to accomplish these things. Amen.”
