I do not agree with the Catholic church that IVF is immoral. I think the appropriate words may be that IVF is not the intended divine purpose of conception, but at least to me, that does not make it immoral. Immorality implies willful intent to defy God's purpose. IVF is a means for conception for those that have no other natural means. The intent is not malicious but instead I would argue that it is in most cases the only option in the hopes of resulting in a sacred life.
And that is perfectly fine. As long as my explanations are being understood (which you clearly understood them), I'm not looking to get anyone to agree.
And actually that would make following gods will for those who are unable to conceive naturally. After all one of the first things God commanded was to go forth and be fruitful.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
