IVF

The main pro of IVF is the opportunity for an infertile couple to experience the joy of parenthood. It allows couples who don’t want to adopt the opportunity to have a child of their own. Cons are the high cost and the possibility that certain embryos may be destroyed, thus ending life. While I believe the Church makes valid points, I don’t believe that a couple who uses IVF because they can’t get pregnant is doing anything wrong. If two people are so dedicated to having children, then they should be able to pursue any and all possible options to do so. If a couple is worried about preserving life, then they can make the commitment to use all of the embryos. The pain of being unable to have children is very difficult, and I believe that given the opportunity by modern science and technology to have a child, people should be able to make that choice. In my opinion, the cost of IVF does not change whether or not it is morally correct.
