Title: Part 2 of 3 - World Population and Trends in Reproductive Technology
Topic: Pro-Life Issues
Discussed by Dr. Jan F. Dudt
with The Institute for Faith and Freedom (www.FaithAndFreedom.com)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Do those who do not want children or only have one child ever consider that the
human race may go extinct?
Why does Dr. Dudt describe the path we are on as “neopagan” and “atheistic”?
Dr. Dudt says: “As you move the left on the political spectrum, the disdain
for things Biblical and Christian increases… As a result, the solutions that are
proposed… are not going to be healthy.”

Title: Part 3 of 3 - World Population and Trends in Reproductive Technology
Topic: Pro-Life Issues
Discussed by Dr. Jan F. Dudt
with The Institute for Faith and Freedom (www.FaithAndFreedom.com)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
To counter the population implosion, do many see advances in reproduction
technology as the solution? Dr. Dudt believes “artificial wombs” will
inevitably lead down a much more dangerous path.
Christians are often divided on this topic. Why should Christians oppose
artificial wombs as surrogate mothers? Dr. Dudt once again discusses the effect
gender confusion is having on the world population. He says: “We need to
have Biblical definitions of what it means to be a human, what it means to have
a family, what it means to care for someone more importantly than yourself.
These are fundamental ideas that we need to get right.”

Discussed by Dr. Jan F. Dudt
with The Institute for Faith and Freedom (www.FaithAndFreedom.com)
Every human has been made in the image of God – that is, until 2019 when two Chinese baby girls were born with gene-edited traits. Their sibling was born in 2021. What’s next on “their” agenda?

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Can scientists genetically modify humans? Have they been modifying animals and plants for years?
The three Chinese baby girls were genetically modified to be resistant to HIV. Does this modification make them more susceptible to other diseases?
How many countries outlawed such procedures?
Has the US outlawed human genetic alterations?
Will the meaning for “human” be forever changed? What will humans look like in 200 years?
