How could the church condemn IVF? Without it, some people I know wouldn’t exist
Answer
The people conceived through IVF are innocent as it wasn’t their action that brought about their birth in this way; however, this doesn’t make it right. A good analogy would be, if fornication or adulterous affairs brought about the birth of a child, would that make fornication a good thing? – No, these actions come with their own consequences; the innocent child is being born into a broken home, which is really painful on the child growing up.
Just because God allows the gift of life to come even through sin, doesn’t mean we should keep sinning.
In the case of In Vitro Fertilization which carries out the fertilization of a baby in a test tube, makes reproduction become less of an act of love between spouses; instead, it becomes more like a “transaction” or lab experiment, this is a problem and can prove damaging to the society going forward. It can (if it already hasn’t) lead into things like human experimentation, human cloning etc
