On IVF – A Catholic Perspective on the Ethics of In Vitro Fertilization

In vitro fertilization (IVF) has become a widespread industry, with over eight million children in the U.S. born through this technology since 1978. But as more couples turn to IVF in their struggles with infertility, serious ethical and moral questions arise:

• Is it right or wrong to create human life in a laboratory rather than through marital love?
• Does IVF uphold the dignity of human life, or does it compromise it?
• Are there faithful, life-affirming alternatives for couples facing infertility?

In On IVF, part of Word on Fire’s Dignity Series, Stephanie Gray Connors approaches these urgent questions with both intellectual clarity and deep compassion. Through real-life stories and Catholic moral teaching, she explores the suffering of infertility, the dangers and consequences of IVF, and ethical alternatives that respect the sanctity of life.

A vital resource for Catholics seeking guidance, On IVF offers a hope-filled approach that honors the dignity of every human person—both born and preborn.
