In Vitro Fertilization

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?
