IVF: The Wrong Answer to America’s Fertility Problem

Last week, President Trump signed an executive order expanding access to in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Here’s the catch: IVF won’t fix the fertility crisis. Besides being expensive and often ineffective, IVF is also morally wrong. During the IVF process, many embryos are killed or frozen. It also harms the couple’s marriage.

Thankfully, there are many MORAL alternatives to IVF. Often, these treatments heal the underlying health problem. If President Trump hopes to Make America Healthy Again, it’s time to help couples solve the root causes of fertility struggles.

On today’s episode, Fr. Shenan Boquet explains why in vitro fertilization is always immoral. He also explains which reproductive technologies are morally licit.

Listen now to discover the REAL answer to America’s fertility crisis.
