Cultural Update: AI video generator; designer babies are now teens; UK bans puberty blockers for children

This week, Sean & Scott discuss: 

  • UK bans puberty blockers for children, citing insufficient evidence of safety and efficacy, sparking international comparisons and debate.
  • OpenAI's new AI video generator, Sora, raises ethical and biblical questions about truth and technology's societal impact.
  • Designer babies now teens, with many experiencing identity struggles, reveal the unintended consequences of parental expectations and genetic tailoring.
  • The legacy of Hal Lindsey, author of The Late Great Planet Earth, prompts reflection on eschatology and its influence on evangelical social action.
  • Listener questions on foster care goals and Bible study methods for teaching and preaching.
