Question

Discuss the Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant views and argumentation regarding artificial reproduction.

Expert Solution
Step 1

All reproductive therapies that handle eggs or embryos are considered artificial reproduction. Artificial reproductive technology methods often entail surgically extracting eggs from a woman's ovaries, fertilizing them in a lab, and either putting them back into her body or giving them to another woman. They EXCLUDE methods in which a woman takes medication just to boost egg production without intending to have eggs retrieved or therapies in which only sperm are treated (such as intrauterine—or artificial—insemination). 

Artificial reproductive technology (ART) can help people and families who are struggling with infertility, but it can also pose risks to the public's health as shown by the high incidence of multiple births, premature deliveries, and low birth weights associated with ART. Monitoring the effects of reproductive technologies, such as ART and contraception, has developed into a crucial public health endeavor.
