In my initial summary of my understanding of Christian doctrine, I allotted a great deal of attention to the doctrines that, in my mind, define what it means to be a Christian--such as love, community, and evangelism--yet I neglected the fact that all Christians are, at their core, human beings. Therefore my attention is now turned to the doctrine of human beings. Guthrie 's analysis of the doctrine of human beings can perhaps best be summarized by 1 John 1:7, which reads, "but if we walk in the…

During a series of ecological disasters including an ice age and a period of extensive solar radiation, the tardigrade, one of nature’s “extremophiles”, was able to evolve physically to the extent where the microscopic organism can decrease its metabolism to a miniscule amount making it able to survive whatever conditions it faces.

In the video, Dr. Scott Rae is making the comparison of using medical technology in the assist of procreation and using medical technology with the everyday usage of human’s bodily organs. He used the example of having medical technology assist people with kidney failure or with lung failure. The comparison is made when there is assistance with medical technology and procreation. To be honest, I have never thought of it that way. If there is a blockage in the fallopian tube, then why can’t…

Advances in technology related to genetic mapping and embryonic screening have raised several ethical dilemmas regarding the morality of parents choosing children based on certain characteristics. Screening for disability and sex is already occurring, and screening for other characteristics is not out of the question in the near future. The idea of “designer babies” is morally questionable for many people worried about “playing God” or causing problems at a broader, societal level. Based on the…

Atwood portrays woman as submissive and defenceless to the men.
