What is the Catholic view of In Vitro Fertilisation?

[Annabel0425]

wanted to ask a question about IVF. I am a catholic, my mother is church of england but my father and the rest of my family is catholic. I wanted to question the catholic view on ivf, i know they do not approve of it and it is not allowed within the catholic denomination, however i was conceived through IVF.
Therefore… because i was a ‘test tube baby’ surely i should not be accepted as a catholic as technically i should not have been born? What is a catholic opinion of this?
