I see nothing wrong with IVF because again, that is creating life.

From the link I posted above ...

To avoid the problems of carrying and rearing "too many" babies after several have been implanted, doctors sometimes engage in something euphemistically called "fetal reduction" or "selective reduction." Here they monitor the babies in utero to see if any have defects or are judged to be less healthy than the others. They eliminate those "less desirable" babies by filling a syringe with potassium chloride, maneuvering the needle toward the "selected" baby in the womb with the aid of ultrasound, and then thrusting the needle into the baby's heart. The potassium chloride kills the baby within minutes, and he or she is expelled as a "miscarriage." If it cannot be determined that one baby is less healthy than the others, some doctors simply eliminate the baby or babies who are easiest to reach. Again we see the unspeakable diminishing of the value of human life which can arise from this procedure.

Now, how do you feel about IVF?

Yes. And this is the other reason I did not go forward with it. I would rather live without than to kill a child. I must say though honestly, I did have an abortion when I was very young and my soul suffers to this day. I could not take another life. It would have been based on my own selfish want. I posted earlier I chose not to have IVF for spiritual/moral reasons because they also ‘get rid’ of already fertilized eggs that don’t go into the uterus.

Murder of many for the possibility of one.
