A woman naturally pregnant at 40 has a 40% chance of miscarriage; at 45 the chance of loss is 2/3. Are she and her husband wrong to conceive so late?
A woman (couple) who has difficulty conceiving also has greater difficulty carrying to term, cruel irony.
A couple who have so much difficulty conceiving that they resort to IVF will have a higher chance of embryos not maturing properly before implantation AND of losing a resulting pregnancy.
It’s not probabilities alone that can determine the morality of conceiving naturally or with assistance.
After all, when child mortality is 50% before the age of five, it is still moral to conceive. The human race has done that for millennia.
I agree and would state you are actually making my point, my only point is that it is not as morally clear as some here and the article are making it to be.
Abortion is a clear absolute moral evil in cases where it is for convenance, what about where it would save the mother’s life, yes very rare these days, nearly non existent but still, is it wrong?
My only point is this is far from an easy and clear moral choice.
