"Neither does the Catholic Church since many embryo's/children are created and subsequently destroyed..."

But it's not just that, Coleus, it's that the Church does not approve of any "third parties" being involved in reproduction. They are so in favor of "nature" they could basically be hippies. But I'm not sure ALL fertility medical help would be off the table. I'm not sure about that at all.

Maybe someone else can give more info.

My daughter has a neighbor with 3 children. There is a set of 4 year old twins and a 3 year old. All 3 were conceived through in vitro. The weirdest aspect of it is that the 3 year old is a triplet of the twins. Her embryo wasn't implanted with theirs. Now their dilemma is that they have a few more frozen embryos and don't know what to do with them.

Dear jocon307,

"But I'm not sure ALL fertility medical help would be off the table. I'm not sure about that at all."

Without getting into the graphic details, the Catholic Church permits some fertility treatments.

IVF is clearly not one of them.

I think the Church will allow the use of hormones/prescriptions and surgery if there is blockage or scar tissue and that's about it.
