This is all very confusing for me.
Would it be fair, CL to say that you consider IVF immoral primarily because that is what the church teaches?
The thing that is puzzling me most is about why anyone should care that the church says it is immoral. Obviously as an atheist I don't care anyway, but Christianity teaches that everyone is already sinful but Jesus dies for those sins (in advance). And you can just apologize and be forgiven afterward. So no harm has been done to either parent, or to the child, the "sin" has been forgiven so presumably God has dealt with whatever issues he has and won't hold it against you... Things are fine now?
The whole thing is utterly bizarre to me
