The Nature of Conception in IVF vs. Natural Design
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is contrasted with natural conception, highlighting the involvement of a third party in IVF and how it fundamentally alters the conception process. The argument is made that IVF resembles manufacturing a human rather than receiving new life, as is seen in God's design. This change raises questions regarding the necessity of sexual union for procreation, which IVF circumvents by providing an alternative method. Ultimately, the debate revolves around whether IVF aligns with or deviates from the God-ordained design for human reproduction.
