Moral implications

Obviously, IVF eliminates the marriage act as the means of achieving pregnancy, instead of helping it achieve this natural end. The new life is not engendered through an act of love between husband and wife, but by a laboratory procedure performed by doctors or technicians. Husband and wife are merely sources for the "raw materials" of egg and sperm, which are later manipulated by a technician to cause the sperm to fertilize the egg.

Invariably several embryos are brought into existence; only those which show the greatest promise of growing to term are implanted in the womb. The others are simply discarded or used for experiments. This is a terrible offense against human life. While a little baby may ultimately be born because of this procedure, other lives are usually snuffed out in the process.

Doctors are in effect practicing veterinary medicine./sarc.The difference is in the physical quality of the fetus. A bull and cow whose sperm and egg have been carefully selected. The man and/or woman who resort to this desperate measure probably have genetic defects that they pass on to their child. Sad.
