Artificial insemination is playing god and carries with it the same risk that Sarah did by offering her maidservant to Abraham. It can create another Ishmael. Sarah had a “work around” when she really just needed faith. When a woman surrenders her womb to God, she can then accept God’s answer. Care should be taken and the use of multiple eggs avoided when it may result in the selective reduction abortion procedure talked about earlier. A baby can be a blessing, but there are many wonders in this life, including adoption, and a couple should be cautious if using artificial insemination is just a means of circumventing what God has naturally given them. Or, if it means they will later be engaged in abortion. Both are faithless acts. Copyright 2005 Edward G. Palmer, All Rights Reserved. Book of Edward—Chapter 19
