How odd?

According to an article a few months ago in The Wall Street Journal, there is growing concern that there are not enough donations of sperm to meet rising demand and that the cost of getting pregnant through sperm donation is increasing.  The article reported that in California 60 percent of the applications for sperm to the California Cryobank come from LGBTQ people and 20 percent from single women.  With stricter controls, facilities are rejecting more and more sperm donors with certain risk factors as genetic and psychological screening techniques have improved.  Yes, that is what the article says.  No, I cannot believe that this is a real thing, either.  

Let me put this in perspective.  While many families are choosing not to have kids, it appears those who have no choice but to use fertility clinics and reproductive technology are more interested than ever in having a child.  Who could have predicted that one day we might get to the point where some young men are electing to have a vasectomy to prevent ever having a child while others are spending big bucks for prize sperm in their pursuit of a child?  We abort more children than live births in some cities and in others sperm banks and overrun by LGBTQ and single women who will spend what it takes to have a child.  Wow.  Can anyone say "skewed values?"

The world is upside down.  It is not merely an oddity of the moment but a symptom of the way we have messed with the basic social structures and institutions that we once shared with those of any religion, race, and region.  I wish I could say that this is a momentary description of craziness but I suspect that there will be odder and stranger things to come.  All of this is because we no longer know who we are, why we are here, and what our purpose is in life.  Left without an anchor in God's Word, truth will become ever stranger than fiction and reality further and further from the Creator's intent.  But I will warn you.  This is not the end.  This is the start of a whole new future in which marriage is optional, sex has little to do with children or marriage, and babies are the prize possessions of the moment.
