Q: My husband and I are looking at the option of IVF in our fertility journey. Do you think that there is a biblical way to go about this process?

Summary

In this conversation, Dr. E and Hanna discuss the emotional and ethical complexities of infertility, focusing on whether there is a biblical way to go about IVF. They explore key questions couples must ask—most importantly, why they want to have children—and emphasize the need for unity between spouses before pursuing any path.

Drawing from personal experience and trusted Christian ethics resources, Dr. E highlights issues surrounding embryo creation, selection, and storage, as well as the emotional weight of long-term outcomes. They stress that neither IVF nor adoption is for everyone and that wisdom, prayer, and sound counsel are essential.

Takeaways

  • Adoption and IVF are not for everyone.

  • Understanding the 'why' behind wanting a child is crucial.

  • The ethical implications of embryo handling are significant.

  • Couples should set a time frame for IVF procedures.

  • Seek good counsel from trusted sources.

  • Be cautious of advice from those with different experiences.

  • God may provide children in unexpected ways.
