Canadian Supreme Court Limits Religious Freedom
| Answers in Genesis The Supreme Court of Canada handed down a highly disappointing decision to a Christian university—one that will impact religious freedom in that nation.

Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Pro-Life Centers

Abortion
| Answers in Genesis Does life begin at the moment of conception or sometime later? Properly answering this question can mean the difference between life and death.
Abortion
| Answers in Genesis "I have read some of your articles on Abortion and found them some of the most offensive articles I have had the misfortune to read..."
Fetal Heartbeat Isn't the Issue
| Answers in Genesis The intention of a recent article is clear: a baby isn’t really human or alive; therefore, bills which recognize the humanity of a baby, based on fetal heartbeat, are wrong and abortion is acceptable. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Abortion and Morality
| Answers in Genesis The tragic account of a cold-hearted abortion clinic murder—and the ensuing legal battle—reminds us of the dark connection between abortion and morality. (Warning: revolting content.)
Up with Down
| Answers in Genesis Recent studies indicate
that the abortion rate may
be declining for babies
diagnosed before birth with
Down syndrome.
State of Abortion
| Answers in Genesis The battles to increase legal protection for the life of the unborn are encouraging and deserve our prayers and help, but a biblical, pro-life position relies on much more than politics.
Planned Parenthood
| Answers in Genesis At the root of Planned Parenthood is an evolutionary philosophy that man is merely an animal in the process of evolving to his ultimate potential.

Prenatal Development: Life of an Unborn Baby

Stem Cells
| Answers in Genesis Preserving life—it is extremely important in the Christian faith. But what is the biblical definition of life, and how does this definition affect stem cell research?
Is the Battle for Stem Cells Over?
| Answers in Genesis The ethical use of human stem cells sparked an intense debate nearly 20 years ago. Since life and death were on the table, it’s no surprise that loud opinions and strong passions raged. Since then, the controversy has cooled and almost subsided. But not for the reasons you might expect.
The Dilemma That Isn't
| Answers in Genesis Do the potential benefits of embryonic stem cell research justify the destruction of tiny, unborn human lives? Or is there a viable alternative?

Amniotic Stem Cells—A New Era?
| Answers in Genesis Knowledge that these cells have the ability to transform into so many tissue types is welcome. The promise, if fulfilled, that this technology would be available without the destruction of human life is priceless.
Cloning
| Answers in Genesis A clone is a genetically identical copy of a living organism. What about cloning humans? Should Christians view the cloning of animals differently than humans?
Like Dolly, Only Human
| Answers in Genesis The human cloning method of Shoukhrat Mitalipov’s group re-ignites the bioethics of the human embryonic stem cell debate at a whole new level.
Scientists Have Cloned Monkeys—Are We Next?
| Answers in Genesis In a world first, scientists in China have cloned primates using the same method that created Dolly the sheep. These two long-tailed macaques are genetically identical to one another. Now, the scientists reassure us that humans aren’t next.
Eugenics
| Answers in Genesis Eugenics, the sterilization of those considered “unfit,” is the logical conclusion when applying the principles of survival-of-the-fittest Darwinian evolution.
New Eugenics Exhibit
| Answers in Genesis A new exhibit at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, examines eugenics in mid-century Germany and other countries, including Norway, Spain, Brazil, Japan, and the U.S.
Is Euthanasia a Biblical Solution to Terminal Illness or Suffering?
| Answers in Genesis Should people have a right to death-on-demand by euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide to escape suffering or a life some consider “not worth living”? When we realize that this is tantamount to asking for murder-on-demand, the sanitized sounding word euthanasia takes on its true colors.
Euthanasia . . . for Children?
| Answers in Genesis Euthanasia, also known as “doctor assisted suicide,” is the idea that a terminally ill patient (or, in some cases, just the very old, or those with predicted shortened life-span because of a sickness) can choose to end their own life, with the assistance of a doctor. Belgium now allows children of any age to choose it.

Want to Live? Canada Will Help You Die Instead
| Answers in Genesis Roger Foley of Canada, who has a degenerative brain condition, is suing a hospital, two health care agencies, and both the Ontario and Canadian governments for denying his right to “assisted life.” Instead, he’s been offered euthanasia—doctor-assisted suicide (or, really, doctor assisted murder!).
Mass Shootings
| Answers in Genesis Tragically, the news is often busy reporting another mass shooting at a school, mall, or even a church. What causes these man-made disasters?

Suicide and God’s Plan for Life
| Answers in Genesis Each year in the United States alone, tens of thousands of individuals take their own lives, and a million more attempt suicide. What help and hope can we offer to family members and friends who seek death by suicide? Why and how must we promote life? We turn to the Bible for answers.
Does Life Begin with the First Breath?
| Answers in Genesis The Bible’s testimony is that life begins at fertilization. So, how can some people argue that the Bible explicitly teaches life doesn’t begin until after birth, when the baby takes his or her first breath of air? Those who posit this argument don’t apply their thinking consistently throughout the passage.
Will Crime Rates Go Up Because Roe v. Wade Was Overturned?
| Answers in Genesis With the recent reversal of Roe v. Wade, some have made a grim prediction—now that abortion access is going to be restricted in several states, there will be higher crime rates in 15–20 years. Should we expect this to happen? If so, are pro-lifers wrong to oppose abortion?
“Fetus” Stage: Week 9 in the Life of an Unborn Baby
| Answers in Genesis By nine weeks of life (11 weeks gestational age), a baby has developed arms and legs (with individual fingers and toes), which he or she can begin to move. All the baby’s major organs have formed, including the reproductive organs particular to the baby’s gender, although a baby’s sex isn’t yet clear via ultrasound.

Flesh and Blood
| Answers in Genesis If the life of the flesh is in the blood, why do we say life begins before there is blood? And what about twins?
Human Trafficking
| Answers in Genesis When the West rejected the Creator, it tossed out the one sure foundation for human dignity and purity. Without the light of God’s Word, the floodgates have opened to a new form of slavery in the West—trafficking in human lives to fulfill carnal lusts.
Christians and Suicide Prevention
| Answers in Genesis Just as with every other issue of life, we need to understand what God’s Word says about suicide. Though the Bible never explicitly commands, “Thou shalt not commit suicide,” it talks repeatedly about life and how we can best live it.

Speak Life: Ensuring Our Words Match Our Beliefs

Media Reports “Around 1,000” People Attend DC March for Life
| Answers in Genesis In an obvious display of their anti-life bias, many major news outlets completely ignored the massive crowd at the annual March for Life, in Washington, DC.

Do Embryo Adoptions “Give Too Much Personhood to the Embryo”?

Believers in Fate, Reincarnation, and Karma?
| Answers in Genesis The Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of atheism is: “a lack of belief or a strong disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods.” Because of their belief that there is no god, atheists hold to naturalism and materialism and therefore, they are supposed to disavow anything supernatural or spiritual. . . but do they?
