Against: The religion belief of some people make their point of view strongly against IVF. Pope Benedict XVI of Catholicism said: “Less visible, but not for that reason less disturbing, are the possibilities of self-manipulation that man has acquired.... In this way, the splendor of the fact that he is the image of God… no longer shines upon this man; his only splendor is the power of human capabilities” as he believe the IVF is against the lord as people are creating people instead of god, and that is against the Catholic belief. The Catholic believe do not suggest “unnaturally bred” human, and the IVF created the babies that are not “naturally breed”. Therefore for Catholic believers, the IVF isn’t an acceptable way, especially from Pope …show more content…

Many New Zealanders who are Christianity believer could reject IVF because they believe this is the behaviour of “plays with God”. However, although embryo represents the first place of a baby born, I think people should not limit themselves by their beliefs. Yes we must respect lives and human rights, and follow their religious rules. But in first few days, embryo is just formed and it not yet have the brain or the body issue. And once it is mature enough and has the structure of development, we will inject it in the mother’s womb and it grows in the mother’s body. So I think either the pope or bishop should have the responsibility, or get encouraged to spread the understanding and opinion that Christian hold about we are the “image of God” is not accurate, God will still take care of his gifts when they are in the mother’s womb. We shouldn’t reject IVF because no sexual intercourse has been done, because after all it is still natural to have a baby born with IVF. https://mad4science.wordpress.com/tag/embryo/ Of course, this method is quite difficult to be achieved because people need time to change their mind of IVF. Some believers may totally refuse this thought about changing mind on IVF that they never accepted before. This action must take very long time and need lots of more information about religion, because belief is powerful, human’s mind is much more powerful than we can imagine. It is very difficult to uproot a big “tree”(belief) that was already in the

Medi-Cult Case Analysis Medi-Cult, a biotech company based in Denmark, has developed a new alternative to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) called In Vitro Maturation (IVM). These methods are used to help infertile couples have children. IVM significantly reduces the time needed to mature an egg from 30 days to just 2 days. Importantly, it is a relatively hormone-free treatment thus sparing women a number of psychological and physical side effects. Because the side-effects tend to be much-lessened, women at risk from hormone-related condition such as polycystic ovaries are offered the option of safer fertility treatment.

In Brave New World mothers were not needed, in fact they were a shameful thing, however in today’s society she is still a needed component but IVF is a step towards that direction. In some cases people can even control certain variables. For example, if they do not have a significant other but want a biological child there are places that have supplies of sperm and eggs that were donated where people can choose the “person” they want to be mixed with. Therefore, picking out the traits of a half of the equation, controlling those things

Not only is in-vetro now more of a possibility, but also a gift. Infertility has been an issue for even our earliest ancestors. “Ancient infertility is documented in the Bible as well as in Greek and Roman texts, and stories of certain "barren" queens of Europe have endured from Medieval times.” (How Test Tube Babies Changed the World). Then, there were very few, if any, tools or remedies to rely on when facing problems with infertility.

On the other hand, those who support therapeutic cloning argue against the accusations from non-supporters that this type of cloning destroys human life. According to the same article above written by Charlotte Kfoury, the advocates for embryo research, like therapeutic cloning, state that if left untouched the embryos used could not develop into a “mature organism”. They also state that if the embryo was transferred to the womb, implantation could not occur if it had reached a certain stage in development (Kfoury). This means that the embryos used have no possibility of becoming a human being unless implanted before a certain stage of development. Besides, if implanted, the cloning type would be reproductive, not therapeutic.

God is not against science, so how to apply that gift is peoples’ responsibility only. Thus, going back to the topic, the conflict then is between the interest of the parents – to have the child they want – and that of society, which has to provide for a child with special needs. And the last error in my stance is that PGD allows us to prevent diseases that newborns are vulnerable to. If we have the technology to accomplish this, why wouldn't we? If PGD was used to eliminate genetic diseases or for couples who have difficulty conceiving, shouldn’t it be allowed?

Many people say that embryonic and stem cell research are atrocious acts but both are morally correct. Embryos used in research don’t have feelings, they consist of very few cells, and they are extremely tiny so they are not human beings (Holcberg and Epstein 48). Many believe that instead of having embryos held and thrown out by fertility clinics that they should be used for research and experiments. People could also donate their embryos rather than disposing them (Menendez 19). Religious belief is one of the main reasons people do not support stem cells because people believe it goes against moral teaching

In his book The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction, Hank Greely conceives of a future where sex is no longer the source for creating babies. Instead, babies will be created through preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and in vitro fertilization (IVF). While these procedures are seen as a solution for overcoming infertility and other reproductive barriers, these procedures also have ethical implications. The purpose of this essay is to explicate these ethical issues and to engage with Greely’s presentation. In doing so, I will summarize Greely’s presentation and envision what Greely’s work would look like through a feminist lens.

Abortions in the Catholic church are taken very seriously and are not allowed. Recently, the pope has granted all priests to absolve the sin or abortion instead of having to go to a bishop. “The Vatican made clear that "forgiveness of the sin of abortion does not condone abortion nor minimize its grave effects. The newness is clearly Pope Francis ' pastoral approach. ””(Fox News 2015) CNN also released an article about this issue.

The anti-birth control argument is less centered on the actual effects and functions of birth control and instead focuses on more religious and moral arguments. The primary argument is that birth control violates “God’s plan” for a person’s life. Contraception prevents pregnancy and thus, in the eyes of some individuals, prevents the creation and start of life. Some individuals also say that contraception makes sex a more casual act. It makes sex outside of marriage much easier and makes the act something that can be done purely for enjoyment.

While some people belief that by using IVF the people are destroying the natural cycle of life. They belief that a baby should be born through a natural process and that by using IVF the people are “playing God”. They also argue that IVF “dehumanize women and reduce them to empty vessels waiting to be filled with babies for the benefit of men” (Farris Naff 19). They believe that women go through the process of IVF because they want to satisfy their partner instead of themselves. Even though, IVF can be convenient for women, it is known that IVF can have some bad outcomes to some.
