IVF Replaces Natural Conception
- IVF replaces the natural sexual act with a manufactured process to create life.
- This objectification of human beings contradicts their unique status as subjects made in God's image.
IVF Creates Many Lost Lives

- This results in many human beings losing their lives or being indefinitely frozen.
Responding to IVF Regret
