Cultural Update: Are political opponents really our enemies?; A world beyond IVF; Diverse intelligence

This week Scott & Sean discuss: 

  • Are political opponents really our enemies? We dive into a Wall Street Journal op-ed challenging partisanship and urging love across political lines.
  • The ethics of emerging reproductive technologies like in-vitro gametogenesis (IVG) and the potential societal impacts.
  • A New York Times article about humanity’s readiness for a world beyond IVF, asking if we're prepared for designer babies.
  • How should we relate to "diverse intelligence" like AI, robots, and cyborgs? 
  • Listener questions tackle sensitive topics such as retirement from a biblical perspective and the emotional and spiritual challenges of male infertility (book mentioned: The Infertility Companion).
