Artificial Fertilization –– What Do YOU Say??
Saturday, July 24th, 2010There are numerous couples among our churches who are childless. Some are due to medical problems, others are due to lifestyle induced problems. Whatever the root cause, many of them greatly desire to have a child or more.
Some of them are finally able to conceive with the help of medical intervention such as corrective medication, corrective surgery, or medically assisted fertilization. Ultimately all of it amounts to medical help for a couple to get a child.
However, some of the couples are unable to conceive because the husband does not have proper sperm count, or has some other such defect that prevents him from fathering a child in spite of medical help and intervention. In such cases, many of them are advised to buy sperms from a sperm-donor and go ahead with medically assisted fertilization.
Many believers have toyed, from time to time, with these ideas of taking sperm from another person (mostly, anonymous donors). A few of them contact me, knowing that I speak on apologetic and ethics-related issues. They need a scriptural and logical counsel.
What do YOU have to say scripturally on this issue?
