The Immoral Situation of Abortion and In Vitro Fertilization - Issues Concerning the Family and the Paradox of Fertility (Paperback)

On the one hand, the percentage of infertility among young couples is increasing; on the other hand, there are many ways to "produce" children in an artificial, "technological" way. The latter option seems tempting. Technologies today are seen as substitutes for many human activities; they take the role of human beings with the aim to "improve" our well-being. Methods such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) demonstrate that people today rely too much on technologies to solve their problems. Of course, there are couples honestly believing that in vitro procedures are safe and do not violate any principle of morality. This lack of knowledge is thus part of the problem: we are surrounded by an ocean of information, this "ocean" being full of every type of idea, theory, conception, and so forth. But the information regarding in vitro fertilization is "filtered." It is often subjected to censorship, or is distorted in such a way as to show that in vitro procedures are completely "safe" and that this procedure only yields positive effects for the couples and the society as a whole. The present book will show that things are not that simple: artificial methods employed for reproduction are often harmful and are always immoral.
