For those who haven’t checked, here is the current status of the poll I fashioned to see how y’all read the tea leaves. The question posed was this: “In the next twenty years, what is the most likely scenario?” I gave five possible answers to choose from. Here is how you see the future so far:
Embryonic Stem Cells Provide Most of the Cures Promised by Proponents—6%
The First Human Cloned Baby is Born—16%
Chimpanzees Are Declared to Be Legal Persons—6 %
Fetal Farming Is Used to Supply Organs for Transplantation—31%
The First Death-On-Demand Suicide Clinic Opens—40%
It’s not too late to look into your crystal balls and tell us what you see. If you want to do so, just hit this link.
I liked this poll. I’ll post others as the muse hits me.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
