Hi, I’m having a discussion about in-vitro fertilization and surrogate motherhood. Anyway, I’m against both obviously, but here’s what one guy said:

Personally, I think that whenever a child is made it is a unitive and procreative act. God is in the test-tube as surely as he is in the bedroom. And the unity of love is not bound by the physical limitation of our bodies. A child loved by God and by the parents is loved no matter how or where is it conceived.

How should I respond?
 
Well, the first thing that comes to mind is that part of the IFV process (after the illicit harvesting of sperm and eggs) is the creation of embryos - people.

Not all of the people created in the test tube are implanted. Not all of the implanted people cause a pregnancy. People are killed left and right in the quest for one pregnancy.

That’s a problem.
 
Of COURSE God loves children who were conceived in test tubes. They are children - He loves them all.

But what a stupid argument to prove the morality of the MEANS of conception. By that logic, RAPE is OK too if it results in conception.

Good ends do not justify sinful means. They just don’t. IVF dehumanizes the mystical gift of sexuality.
