The Ethical Dilemma of IVF

In vitro fertilization raises significant ethical concerns regarding the creation and potential destruction of embryos, a topic of contention within the Christian community. The Southern Baptist Convention recently condemned IVF, arguing that the destruction of embryos is ethically problematic because they consider those embryos as human life. In contrast, the United Pentecostal Church does not have an official stance against IVF but emphasizes that any created embryos should ideally be implanted rather than discarded. Thus, while the church supports couples seeking assistance to conceive, it advocates for preserving the lives of all embryos formed during the process.
