The U.K. is gearing up to legalize reproductive technology that manipulates genes. It’s the beginning of a technological revolution that will have a transformative influence over culture ten times greater than the invention of the Pill.
This revolution will begin as a therapeutic imperative to forestall dire medical problems, as this initiative seeks to do. But as we know with abortion (health of the mother) and contraception (reproductive health), what begin as imperatives of health broaden into lifestyle imperatives. In this case the upshot will be designer babies for the rich who are preoccupied with the perfection of their children.
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.
