Have you ever wondered why your dog has floppy ears? With the exception of the elephant, only domesticated animals have floppy ears. When an animal is bred selectively for one trait – like compatibility with people – often something unexpected happens; for instance, floppy ears.

Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise.

Proverbs 22:17

Genetic engineering can’t predict or control every result. Should the lessons of history cause one to pause for a moment of consideration before eagerly tinkering with the blueprints of human life? Many scientists are shouting – yes! But others don’t want to wait and are using the courts to move forward. The world has yet to see the results of these moral dilemmas being played out daily in genetic laboratories and universities.

The Bible says the beginning of wisdom is found in acknowledging God as the creator and sustainer of life. Today, pray over America’s leadership role in advancing scientific discovery, specifically for lawmakers considering governmental policy relating to manipulating the essence of human life. Pray, too, for those involved in the actual laboratory work to humbly open their hearts to God and their ears to hear His voice.
