So CL I'm still a bit confused on why IVF is immoral to the Catholic church. I don't remember that being covered in any of my classes when attending a Catholic school, but then IVF wasn't as wide spread then so maybe the church didn't have an opinion yet. I saw your answer but I don't recall the bible speaking to this subject so I don't know how it fell under the "sacred" umbrella. Is it the mindset that we were made a certain way as part of God's plan.
If so then I have some follow up questions. Why would Catholic hospitals offer medical care? By that logic anything that happens would be God's plan and to intervene would interfere with his sacred plan. Also since we know IVF happens and that's outside of God's plan does that were deviating further and thus God's experiment is out of control? If so can we expect a flood?
EDIT So you replied to another while I was trying to get this in my stupid phone. So the problem with the process is the masturbation in which to harvest the sperm? My bible quotes are a bit rusty but I thought our seed should not fall to the ground. Isn't sex with a barren woman doing that more so than IVF? Because one is pleasure with no chance of children and the other isn't.
