Understanding IVF and Ethical Concerns

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a complex process involving several steps: administering fertility drugs to encourage egg production, retrieving eggs for lab fertilization, and implanting embryos into the uterus. A significant concern arises regarding the moral consequences of creating multiple embryos, suggesting that such practices can lead to decisions about which embryos to discard. This necessity for selective reduction not only raises ethical questions but also poses risks of dehumanizing the lives that are being created. The implications of these decisions warrant serious contemplation, especially among those who consider themselves pro-life.
