Do the risks outweigh the advantages? Or does the desire for a child override ethics?

One of the major risks is the possibility of being raised by two homosexual men or two lesbian women. There is a lot of that going on.

Excellent point. That wasn’t mentioned in the article.

Risk of marrying or pro-creating with a half sibling....

Contraception has trivialized sexual intercourse.

IVF has trivialized conception.

The culture of death has trivialized LIFE.

I’ve never gotten this desire to make one’s own child if the apparatus given by God is not functional. Plenty of children need to be adopted, too. Total lack of faith, seems to me.

By “never gotten”, I mean “never understood”, i.e. as exhibited by others.

Sickening following of events, isn’t it?

That’s especially important what with the left having their own upside-down versions of adoption.

I don’t know that much about this process, but I’m thinking that the donor remains anonymous. So your listed risk is another one to consider.

IN GENERAL when using medical science to enable any good thing one has tried and failed to do by means of nature, it’s a blessing not a curse. I would not want to see attempts to fertilize multiple eggs at the same time because the question arises about what to do in case of multiple successes. Trying to bring them all to term would create a problem situation, as noted. But to fertilize one with “artificial” help and then try to implant it should not be a bad thing. What I see here is an attempt, in the name of specific theological objections, to tar the whole field indiscriminately. “Look at all the troubles associated with X” does not equate to “X is ipso facto bad.”

I see “total” desire to smear what you don’t like.

Such as?

I hope nobody’s in here defending the leftist “version” of adoption, now.

Another scenario is that the childless couple adopt. Then, very often, they relax and are able to conceive. It’s happened innumerable times.

Just your use of the word “total.” If you don’t want to get judged, don’t judge.
