| .....Making matters worse is the fact that there seems a “simple” solution these days. If the couple cannot conceive naturally, why not use artificial means such as IVF? Couples who decide to be faithful to the teachings of the Church and respect the dignity of the human person by not adopting such methods are thus often blamed. Insult is added to injury, for it would be so “easy” for them to resolve their problem. This talk therefore goes on to look at the ethical implications of these methods and explains why they contradict the dignity of the child to be born and of the parents’ themselves. The child no longer is the fruit of her parents’ love, but a product artificially created. The spiritual and also psychological consequences of this, of being violated in the way one was brought into being, cannot be overestimated. | |||
