IVF?

The practice of in vitro fertilization is becoming more common in today's society.  Along with the increase of this practice comes with many pros and cons.  The Catholic church believes that IVF is morally wrong; many couples who use IVF do not consult their church for the fear of being told "no."  However, IVF is a great way for couples to increase their chances of having their own children.  Although the Savage family in the dateline special ultimately gave birth to a child who belonged to someone else, they are a good example of people creating a healthy family through IVF, despite the many obstacles faced during pregnancy.  IVF is a also good alternative to adoption for the couples who desire a child that is biologically theirs.  IVF is a very expensive practice, but I do not believe that it greatly affects my opinion on the morality of it.  It is a very difficult process that can not be done cheaply, and I think that if a couple is willing to pay this much money for IVF, it shows how serious they are about creating a family.
