Southern Baptist Convention's Stand on In Vitro Fertilization

The Southern Baptist Convention's recent resolution to oppose in vitro fertilization aligns them with the belief that the dignity of every human being includes frozen embryonic human beings. While some messengers oppose this resolution, citing personal stories and the positive aspects of IVF in bringing children into the world, the SBC rightly acknowledges the searing pain of infertility but also raises concerns about the means of producing a child, specifically addressing the issue of excess embryos and their fate post-implantation.
