R.E - Ethics - Fertility Treatment
- Introduction
- Fertility treatment is used when people can not
conceive naturally, usually because of a medical
problem e.g. a man is not producing enough sperm, or a
woman is not ovulating.
- There are different forms, depending on the problem. Often, couples may
have to try many fertility treatments for months or years in the hope of
success. It doesn’t always work. It can be very expensive.
- Fertility treatment is used when people can not
conceive naturally, usually because of a medical
problem e.g. a man is not producing enough sperm, or a
woman is not ovulating.
- Types of Fertility Treatments
- IVF – In Vitro Fertilisation (in glass): Egg and sperm are brought together in a test-tube.
Embryo is put back inside the woman’s body.
- AI – Artificial Insemination: Sperm is collected and placed in the woman’s uterus artificially.
- AIH – Artificial Insemination (Husband): Artificial Insemination using the husband’s healthy sperm.
- AID – Artificial Insemination (Donor) Artificial Insemination using an anonymous donor’s sperm, e.g.
if the husband’s sperm are not healthy, or a woman has no partner.
- Surrogacy – If a woman cannot have children, her husband’s sperm is used to impregnate another
woman – a 3rd party. She gives birth and hands the baby back to the couple.

desperate for a child, wouldn’t you want someone to help you?

other kinds of Christian work.
- It goes against “natural law” to create a child in any way other than through sex.
