Summary

This episode was recorded shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine. Prior to the outbreak of war, Ukraine's lax surrogacy laws have made it a major destination for so-called 'reproductive tourism' for infertile and same-sex couples who wish to have a baby. Bioethicist John Wyatt and his journalist son Tim Wyatt join Justin to talk about the ethics of reproductive technology as they launch their new podcast 'Matters Of Life And Death'.

0:00.0	We're discovering that actually biology matters. We can't wish it away. We can't wipe it away
0:13.8	with a magic wand or with some creased images that people really do care which mother
0:19.5	carried them to term.
0:20.8	What kind of society do we want to build for the future? What kind of world do we want
0:25.7	to create for our children to be born into? These are vital questions for everybody. I think
0:31.9	that as Christians we do have something very specific and actually amazingly relevant
0:37.2	to contribute to this important debate.
0:41.5	You're listening to unbelievable with Justin Briarly.
0:47.0	Hello and welcome back to the show. Reproductive technology in the surrogacy industry is what
0:52.0	we're talking about today with John and Tim Wyatt. John will be part of our lineup for

1:20.9	We'd like to move to our Ukraine special from last week. I'll bring you some of that later
1:25.1	along with feedback to other recent shows. Just a heads up that you will hear various
1:29.9	references to Ukraine in today's show but this show was recorded shortly before War
1:35.0	Broke Out so some of the references will be out of date. Of course the surrogacy in Ukraine
1:39.9	in isn't as much turmoil as the rest of the country right now but with that caveat
1:44.8	we decide here's today's program. I'm excited about today's show. We're dealing
