Assisted Conception - In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

Some couples are told that IVF is their only hope of having children.

But IVF poses some ethical problems.

What could be unethical about IVF?

• Using human beings for research purposes
  
• In early stages of development babies are called embryos. Using IVF means that leftover embryos are destroyed
  
• Thousands of tiny human beings being frozen in storage

Is there an alternative?

Yes! There are natural fertility treatments, hormone therapy and new technologies that do not require the destruction of human life. If you know of someone who is struggling with infertility, or just want to learn more, check out the sites below.
