[Response to a woman who can't conceive save by IVF]

Hi Grace,

Thanks for asking. Yes, I do think it would still be wrong. Let me explain:

1. I do not believe in situational ethics. If IVF is wrong for one person, it is wrong for anyone.

2. The doctor is wrong in saying that your only way to conceive is via IVF. From his perspective, it may seem that the only way for you to get pregnant is with their help, but the Bible tells us that God can do the impossible. Sarah, who was well past her childbearing years and menopause, and at age 90 was "as good as dead", became pregnant - a miracle. In fact, there is not one barren woman in the Bible who did not eventually have children when God gave her conception.

3. When I talk about the children that get killed through IVF I am not just talking about the embryos that get discarded/left on ice indefinitely. I am also talking about the ones who are transferred to their mother's womb, but only have a small chance of survival. It is inevitable that children will die during this unnatural process. You may end up with one or even several children at the end of it all, but you will nonetheless be responsible for the death of many more children in the process.

While miscarriages occur naturally, the rates are not nearly as high, but even if they were, that would be God's doing, and not yours.

Hope this answers your question. If not, please let me know, and I can elaborate.
