IVF

IVF is a controversial issue in the Catholic Church, and it is very difficult to discover the right decision morally with this process. A positive factor of IVF includes: it is the best chance for many couples struggling with infertility to have biological children. Also, another pro is that it enables people to choose an embryo that does not have an inherited condition. Negative factors include that it costs a massive amount of money, it can be very dangerous for the mother, and it can result in spare eggs that can be destroyed if they aren't donated. I agree with the church when they state that the killing of these embryos is the unnatural ending of human life. Although, I believe the process of IVF is procreation of human life so I am unsure why the Church does not support it for that aspect. I do think that the financial cost of IVF affects my opinion on the morality of the practice because the creation of a child should be a process that does not involve money. Overall, I believe that IVF is a good option along with adoption if a couple is struggling with infertility, but I am not completely for or against IVF.
