So then, a baby conceived and born out of invitro is not “fearfully and wonderfully” made?
A laboratory-constructed IVF baby not made in the way that mirrors God's creative plan: in a love embrace. This is the only way fitting to the child's identity as an image and likeness of God.
Rather, it's made the way a bred-to-order experimental lab rat is made.
(This is not, of course, the only way-of-begetting that would violate the child's dignity. Being conceived by rape, prostitution, surrogacy contract, drunken fling, patriarchal concubinage, etc. would likewise be unworthy of the child's dignity. IVF is just as subpersonal, in yet another, more radical way.)
This has nothing to do with any supposed inferiority on the part of the CHILD. The CHILD is not inferior. It has to do with the manner in which the child is brought forth: as beloved, and the fruit of love? Or as product and property?
(I'm not just making this up. The Maryville TN frozen embryo case years ago determined that the embryonic children "used" in an IVF case are property, not progeny. The commercial conflict in this case -- the ownership of disputed embryos --- was covered by property law, not family law.)
For animals, veterinary methods of breeding are not a moral problem. I suppose that with artificially inseminated sows, or sheep implanted with clones, you could say their offspring were wonderfully "made," in the sense of manufactured: made in the manner of products, not in the manner of persons. With livestock, that is not a problem. But with persons, it is.
Ar you fully on board with the Judeo-Christian truth that human beings bear the image and likeness of God? And thus God, designer of our nature, may rightly demand certain conditions which are fitting for persons --- conditions provided by divine wisdom: namely that an act that could be life-giving should be an act of consecrated lovemaking? Do you not see the connection?
Don't you see that begetting results in bringing forth an equal, but manufacturing results in a product --- a thing seen as inferior to its maker or owner?
