    Hi Michelle,

    I think these questions you presented here are very important issues for authors to think about. 🙂 So thanks for bringing them up!

    Currently my WIP (just started, btw) focuses on human rights. My premise is basically what makes us human and can clones possess souls and unique personalities. I plan on tackle these controversial issues in my work, and I realize it’s going to be really difficult.  (I also wish to indirectly/subtly mention the rights of the unborn; and I think revealing economic and political effects from such our current abortion and human trafficking and possible future cloning industries would be enlightening…)

    About LGBTQ and religions, I’m going to echo what @daeus-lamb and @sarah-inkdragon and @hope-ann said. More Christians need to deal with these issues, to be sure, in appropriate, accurate, and Christ-like ways through and in our stories. I’m against “feel good”/superficial Christian fiction/films.

    I love SE’s series on tackling hard issues in Christian fiction. 🙂 Perhaps another series on these questions would be well-called for as well.
