Christian attitudes to Infertility Treatment
There are two different views:
All Christians would encourage childless couples to adopt.
Islam and infertility treatments
Most Muslims accept IVF and AIH when couples are having fertility problems because:
• these are simply using medicine to bring about the family life which all Muslims are expected to have.
• the egg and sperm are from the husband and wife
• the discarded embryos are not foetuses and their destruction can be justified by the doctrine of double effect (the intention is to produce children for childless couples, not to kill embryos).
