IVF

“the American Council of Christian Churches… resolves to oppose as murderous any IVF procedure which produces more children than a woman is willing to carry to birth.” - ACCC

“While I do not deny the humanity of the child born by IVF or surrogacy, the procedures do. The child in the womb is treated not as a person but as a thing, not as a subject but as an object, not as intrinsically valuable but as having value only as instrumental to some other end.” - Carl Trueman

“Why are we so good at recognizing and enforcing ethical limits when it comes to medical or genetic experimentation on animals, but not humans?” - Breakpoint

“IVF separates the unitive and procreative goods of sex, a separation that is not morally neutral. IVF can treat humans as a product, the sort of being it is right to produce or manipulate. At times, although certainly not always, IVF raises additional questions about the morality of surrogacy or of having donor-conceived children.” - Public Discourse

“82% saying [IVF] is morally acceptable and 10% saying it is morally wrong. However…divided about destroying frozen human embryos created by in-vitro fertilization, with 49% believing it is moral to do so and 43% disagreeing.” - Gallup
