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.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
