Faith, Justice, and Translation

This week, Scott and guest host Carmen Imes discuss: 

• Can AI romantic chatbots become dangerously addictive? Exploring the emotional and ethical consequences of these pseudo-relationships.
• What do couples do with leftover embryos after IVF? A Psychology Today article opens a discussion on grief, responsibility, and the image of God.
• New genetic screening allows parents to select embryos based on up to 900 traits—raising urgent questions about modern eugenics and human worth.
• A report from The Marshall Project details how some U.S. prisons deprive inmates of sunlight and fresh air.
• Honoring the lives and legacies of Jennifer Lyell, a courageous abuse survivor, and Walter Brueggemann, a groundbreaking Old Testament scholar.
