The Sanctity of Life — Season 1, Episode 4: Eugenics, Abortion, and Genetics - Part 2

Episode synopsis

The eugenics movement lost momentum when it was associated with the horrors of the Nazi regime, but it did not die. Instead, it became “quiet and careful.” A resurgence of eugenics is brewing in America today, and modern Planned Parenthood still advocates many eugenic ideals. As Christians, it is our responsibility to view life from God’s perspective and to defend all of those who are created in His image. No matter how impaired a human life may seem, every person has value because they are made in God’s image.

About The Sanctity of Life

This compelling series reveals the movements and political pressures that have resulted in society's low regard for the sanctity of life. Yet it keeps the focus on the foundation that every Christian's worldview must be based upon—the Bible. No other series has so courageously defended the biblical case for life—addressing abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell harvesting, human cloning, mercy killing, and more. Join Christian scientists Dr. David Menton, Dr. Georgia Purdom, and Dr. Tommy Mitchell in this compelling 4-DVD series. Co-produced by Answers in Genesis and the American Family Association.
