In Vitro Fertilization

Stephanie Gray Connors • 7/10/2019

Stephanie Gray explains why the Catholic Church teaches that IVF is morally wrong.

Questions Covered:

22:21 - I disagree with you. My wife and I did IVF and we love our children as much as any other parents love their children. You’re implying that there is no love in the IVF family.
31:00 - Is there a date that frozen embryos have to be used or discarded by?
36:50 - Is there any research on whether any children conceived through IVF have more health problems?
47:47 - If the married couple has tried to use the intimate method for years unsuccessfully, why is it wrong to aid that with science? The love isn’t necessarily lacking. They want a child together.
51:10 - Can you comment on theologians’ ideas of using an artificial womb as a solution for the leftover embryos?
