FERTILITY TREATMENT
Different ways to help conceive a child, when there is some inability to.
TYPES: Artificial Insemination by the Husband (AIH), Artificial Insemination by Donor (AID), In Vitro Fetrilisation (IVF), Egg Donation, Cloning.
1. Most Christians think it is okay to use science to help conceive a child, UNLESS it involves another person.
2. AIH is permissible. The sanctity of marriage isn't affected and the couple can still have a child. Some Roman Catholics don't agree as it isn't natural sex.
3. Some Christians believe if AIH fails, then the couple should adopt.
4. Some Christians think IVF is okay, if it is the wife's egg and the husband's sperm.
5. AID and egg donation aren't as accepted as it involves a third person.
6. The Roman Catholics are against IVF in all ways, as there are often 'spare' embryos, which are discarded. Most Catholics think life begins when the egg is fertilised.
7.Most Christians are against cloning, as it is seen as "playing God". People may object because many feotuses die when the technique is developed and that each child should be unique.
