Everything That's On My Mind

 Tuesday, February 21, 2006
There's another good post today by Joe Carter over at the Evangelical Outpost. I'm not always a big fan of Dr. Dobson's tactics or positions (I've sent a scathing email or two to Focus on the Family) but in this case I find myself in agreement with him. It appears his critics on the reciprocal beneficiary contracts issue haven't thought clearly about the issue. Joe makes a great comparison to Ruth and Naomi. It's not about sex it's about love, and as Christians we should understand the difference.

I read about this a couple of days ago and immediately thought of the scenario mentioned in this article - and an example that comes to mind is Joe and his brother, Tom. Tom had to make decisions for his brother, and a contract like this would cover them (at least in Colorado). I know homosexuals can take advantage of this contract as well, but it was not primarily created for them.

In a way I can liken this to the surrogacy I just recently completed. Many couples unable to carry their own children (for a variety of reasons) are able to have someone else carry for them. Some of those couples are gay - would I ever carry for a gay couple, no, but that does not minimize what I was able to do for the couple for whom I did carry.
