Description

In vitro fertilization is a fairly common procedure done to treat infertility and produce children...but should Christians consider it? Are there ethical issues with creating children in a Petri dish?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a controversial topic in IVF to look at God's view of fertility, the role of medicine in Scripture, and the implications of creating multiple embryos to increase chances of pregnancy. We hope that this podcast is informative for you and may even help a married couple when facing infertility and what to do about it.
