Why Christians Shouldn’t Use IVF

Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday that expands access to IVF. Some people are celebrating this, but IVF isn’t pro-life. The IVF industry is more deadly than the abortion industry.

IVF (in vitro fertilization) has become a popular option for couples struggling with infertility. It’s a procedure that unites a sperm and an egg for conception in a Petri dish. It typically produces between 5 to 10 embryos per treatment. So for every embryo implanted through IVF, there are up to 10 embryos that are murdered or frozen indefinitely.

Therefore, IVF kills twice as many babies as abortion. There are a million babies aborted every year, but IVF kills almost 2 million babies a year.

Some Christians say there are ethical ways to use IVF. They say couples can prevent these murders by freezing the embryos to implant them at a later date. But that is a disturbing argument. Freezing embryos to preserve their life is better than killing them, but that doesn’t mean it’s ethical.

We should expect that kind of argument from pro-abortion people, not Christians. Embryos are not just clumps of cells. They are not disposable items to freeze in containers for use at a later date. They are persons with souls. They are just as human and precious as my 15-month-old and 7-week-old sons.
