Conception in vitro is the result of the technical action which presides over fertilization. Such fertilization is neither in fact achieved nor positively willed as the expression and fruit of a specific act of the conjugal union. In homologous IVF and ET, therefore, even if it is considered in the context of 'de facto' existing sexual relations, the generation of the human person is objectively deprived of its proper perfection: namely, that of being the result and fruit of a conjugal act in which the spouses can become "cooperators with God for giving life to a new person". (POPE JOHN PAUL II, Apostolic Exhortation Familiaris Consortio. 14: AAS 74 (1982) 96.)
IVF, as predicted, is another slippery slope, from two parents to three and now to multiple. The intent of this technology has rapidly shifted from addressing infertility to ensuring a "healthy" baby. It is only a matter of time before these procedures will be mandated by universal government healthcare as the only option for reproduction in order to contain healthcare costs. Don't believe it? Mark my words. Catholic ping!
These people have lost their way
Go ahead. Take a bite of the fruit. He’s lying to you. It will make you like gods, yourselves!

Ummmmmmmmm.
Yeah.
Not something that would really occur to me.
Anything but the normal way is an abomination.
Can you own genetically engineered humans, just like Monsanto Owns genetically engineered plant seeds?
With no (or multiple) parents, who (if anyone) has custody? The manufacturer?
Huxley is spinning in his grave.
If Hillary says it takes a village to raise a child, her fans must think it should take a village to make a child.
Look for mega-parent children. Heather has 12 daddies and 12 mommies! Oops! What a homophobe and hetero-privileged person I am! I should have said Heather has 24 mommies.
The “mating with yourself” is rather foolish. Every bad recessive you have could match up, and it is estimated we all have half a dozen, most of which are so rare it can’t cause trouble except via incest.
But if “mating artificial sperm and egg by your own stemline” is acceptable, cloning then becomes the safer option because it is at worst your own genetic copy without any defects you don’t already have, and your medical history and development is known.
