IVF

       IVF is a very controversial topic, especially in the Catholic church. The pro of IVF is that it helps couples conceive who may be having difficulties. A con is that it is considered an inauthentic way of creating life and also, if you do not implant all of the egg and sperms that are extracted, it is considered similar to abortion. Among world religions, it is a known fact that the Catholic church is the strongest against IVF. The Church's argument revolves around the sanctity of life, the importance of the human sex act in the act of conception, and the threat of IVF. The Catholic church is sometimes too rigid in its teachings however. The financial issue is also relevant. The expenses of IVF almost cause the questioning of whether it should be costing that much to have a child. Many families cannot afford IVF and therefore, it is a precedent that rich people can have children when poor people cannot.
