It is and I’m a bit on the fence with this one as I have cousins who were conceived this way - but ultimately I believe God is the one in charge of that miracle - not a doctor playing God. God has given many parents who were barren the miracle of life once they step onto his righteous path. IVF takes God out of the equation unless of course God leads people there but why would he do that when he is all powerful and can make any woman pregnant by will - even a virgin like Mary or an old woman like Sarah.
It results in the destruction of scores of embryos, each a unique and precious human being. It makes children a commodity. You literally buy your child from the lab that creates him or her. That's why there are thousands and thousands frozen now, waiting to be "implanted". But most never are. What a horrifying and tragic situation. The end does not justify the means.
I understand that those who really want a baby but can't have them think IVF is a miracle.
But my personal opinion is that if God wanted you to get pregnant, you wouldn't need a team of scientists to help you. Sometimes we just have to deal with being disappointed in not getting something we wanted.
If you absolutely can't live without having a kid, there's always adoption.
Ivf is not a miracle of life. More like an inversion of the creation of life
for those incapable of childbirth it is a miracle.
On paper, I would agree.
However, sadly, tons of embryos are thrown away before one is implanted.
And since life begins at conception, I logically have to oppose this.
It's a shame. If they didn't have to throw out conceived embryos, I'd be 100% okay with this.
Couples should be careful and request only 1 fertilized at one time.
If that's possible, yes, that seems okay.
Pending further info, of course.
