Death scares most of us. We do not enjoy thinking about the fragility of our existence nor the vulnerability of mortality. Billionaires like Jeff Bezos now invest their fortunes into experimental treatments and technologies in order to maximize their "health spans" and ensure longevity. Modern technology stands on the cusp of healing DNA and maximizing healthy lifespans beyond what was previously thought possible.
How should Christians react to such this rapidly developing new technology? What ethical issues arise if we extend our lives to 200 years? 2,000 years? How will our perspective shift on what it means to mature, grow, and experience a lifetime?
Our desire to prolong life, seek healing, and mourn over death appears appropriate, but God also enacted death as a judicial sentence for sin. God subjected his creation to death and decay in order to bring about further glory. Christ himself rose to immortal life through the crucible of death. If we try to circumvent this reality we might subvert God's purposes to redeem death.
We dive into all these issues and more in this episode. Be sure to subscribe and leave a review!
