Nathanael Blake—fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, senior contributor to The Federalist, and author of Victims of the Revolution: How Sexual Liberation Hurts Us All (Ignatius Press)—returns to Driving Home to Faith to continue his conversation on the movement to redefine medical infertility.

In this segment, Blake breaks down:


Health Insurance & Medical Ethics: How shifting infertility from a biological condition to a social mandate misuses health insurance—which exists to pool genuine medical risk—to subsidize personal choices and commercial arrangements, ultimately driving up healthcare costs for everyone.


Risks & Legal Realities of Surrogacy: The physiological risks surrogacy presents to mothers and unborn children, the legal landscape in the U.S. compared to European restrictions (such as Italy's blanket ban), and the ethical horror of contractual "selective reduction" and forced abortion clauses.


Commodification of Children: How commercial surrogacy and third-party IVF treat human embryos and infants as commodities to be manufactured, bought, and sold, drawing unsettling legal parallels to property law.


The Theological Bottom Line: Blake shares his personal perspective on the deep pain of biological infertility, emphasizing that genuine healing and love treat children as gifts begotten in marital union rather than products acquired through commercial transaction.
