The Bible does not directly address modern medical experimentation, but it establishes non-negotiable limits based on the sanctity of life (Genesis 9:6) and the command to love your neighbor (Mark 12:31). Biblical limits prohibit any procedure that intentionally destroys innocent human life (especially the vulnerable, like embryos) or violates the fundamental dignity of the person (Imago Dei). Medical research should always aim to heal and alleviate suffering, not harm.

A Christian response to the BLM movement must affirm the sacred value of all Black lives (the Imago Dei) and the biblical mandate to act justly (Micah 6:8). This requires discerning between the need for justice and secular philosophies that contradict the universal nature of sin (Romans 3:23) and the truth that identity is ultimately in Christ (Galatians 3:28). The Christian's primary response is the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18), exercised through listening, lamenting, and advocating for righteous systemic change.  

The biblical view strongly affirms that human life, with full personhood and unique identity, begins at conception (Psalm 139:13-16). Scripture describes the unborn child as being known, formed, and knit together by God in the womb, reflecting the Imago Dei (image of God) from its earliest stages. This understanding forms the foundation of the Christian ethical view regarding the sanctity of life.

The Bible teaches that God created humanity as two complementary sexes: “male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). Traditional Christian thought views gender identity as inextricably linked to biological sex, established by God. The internal conflict of gender dysphoria is acknowledged as part of the Fall’s corruption (Romans 7:22-23), and the call for the Christian is to find ultimate identity and wholeness in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
