At the moment of conception?

Question

Conception happens in a test tube. Out of a dozen fertilized eggs, they implant one and "murder" the rest. So why do Christians go to fertility clinics where they "murder" all those innocent souls?
Wake up "pro-lifers" !
You can't have it both ways!

Answer 1

I can't see how people can say that life begins at conception. If you do - how do you respond to this. Life obviously ends when the electrical activity in your brain stops, so surely it must begin when it starts. At conception, there is no brain.

Answer 2

So you are for giving Profits to corporations for the murdered lives of these babies right??? That's what politics is doing. The politicans are getting their pockets lined with $$$ from dead unwanted babies.

REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Infertility is a real problem, one that has skyrocketed in the last thirty years in developed countries. In response, and entire, ever expanding, and little regulated “reproductive technologies industry” has emerged. While the desire to overcome infertility is certainly legitimate, there are still important moral considerations to take into account.

As good as the desire for children is in itself, it doesn’t justify any and every means of “getting” a child. For example, kidnapping another person’s baby is wrong no matter how desperately a couple want children. So also, as the Church teaches, is manufacturing children through technological procedures. In both cases, we’re dealing with a ‘good end’ (the desire for children) but a ‘bad means’.

The pain and even anguish of infertile couples mustn’t be dismissed. But much more is at stake in the laboratory generation of human life than is first apparent. The Church’s teaching against certain reproductive technologies raises many pressing questions and objections. Before I address them, I’d suggest giving some serious thought both to the following seven questions and to the implications of your answers:

Are we the masters of human life?
Is a child a gift from God?
Can a gift be demanded?
Do couples have a right to children at any cost?
Do couples have a “right” to children at all?
Are we free to determine what is good and evil?
Are God’s commandments meant to bring us happiness or keep us from it?

Answer 3

That is because most people don't think about what really happens at a fertility clinic.

If you cannot have children naturally, then you won't have children naturally. If you still want a child, then go adopt one who needs a good home.

Answer 4

In a lot of cases, people who go to fertility clinics will freeze the embryos that are not implanted to use in the future.

Answer 5

I am a christian and I don't believe in killing the rest of the eggs. *IF* I were to have IVF (not gonna happen b/c that's not a problem for me) I would insist they only do a limited number of eggs and implant them all.

Answer 6

Ummmm....I could be wrong, but don't they generally implant a bunch? Cause there's no gaurantee that they will attach, implanting a bunch gives much better odds of actually getting pregnant?

Answer 7

ummmm, no. Who said they destroy them. Several Christian women have been on TV because they had IVF and ended up have 5 or 6 babies at one time.

And guess who was there to support them and help them? That's right, their fellow Christians.

Answer 8

What of all the abortions that God performs? AKA miscarriages.


But I guess it is OK for God to do it. Why is it that I have better morals than these people's god?

Answer 9

The Catholic Church is also against "test tube" conception.

Check your facts next time.

Peace!

Answer 10

not everyone believes the same thing.
