Since the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has provided hope and a path to parenthood for many couples who cannot conceive naturally. The Catholic Church, however, has consistently rejected IVF - not out of hostility to suffering couples, but because of deeper beliefs about marriage, human life, and the dignity of the human person. The Church opposes IVF largely because the process usually creates multiple embryos in a laboratory. Some are implanted, but others are frozen, discarded, or destroyed. Since the Church views each embryo as a human life, this loss of embryos is considered morally unacceptable. The inherent dignity of a human person deserves full moral and legal respect and protection. The Church teaches that embryos must never be treated merely as a means to an end.

Growing access to IVF and surrogacy raises serious ethical concerns - from exploitation of young women and donor identity risks, to the destruction of millions of embryos. Douglas McManaman
In romantic love, the one who has fallen in love sees the beloved as God sees the beloved. But this can only happen if God gives the one who is in love (the lover) a sharing in the way He sees the beloved. And so, this is a grace; it is an illumination. And that is why in the experience of falling in love, the one in love is very much preoccupied with the beloved, thinks of the beloved a great deal more than he or she otherwise would. Judie Brown
The simple fact that every human being has a similar beginning as a single cell fertilized egg seems to be more than some people can comprehend. This came into stark focus when we read Professor Risa Cromer's article entitled "Embryo Personhood's IVF Problem: What the Data Reveals." Philip Irvin
What if we replace traditional pronouns with biological chromosome labels XY and XX? A strategy to push back against transgender ideology and reclaim gender as biologically determined.

Are pro-life stings justified to change hearts and minds? Or do they make us complicit in new wrongful choices? Michael Cook
What is the position of the law on assisted suicide in Switzerland? Journalists often make the mistake of asserting that euthanasia is allowed there. This is not true: only assisted suicide - but this has been legal, astonishingly, since the 1930s. Charles J. Chaput
Let's be clear on this: Catholics do indeed oppose medical research that requires the destruction of human embryos. Millions of other Americans, religious and otherwise, share this moral conviction. We emphatically support science and medical advances - but we oppose the use of immoral means to achieve seemingly good goals, even when they include possible medical cures. Why? Because if the bloody legacy of the last century has taught us anything, it's that the end never justifies the means. Adam J. MacLeod
State officials and judges cannot comply with the Supreme Court's ruling in Masterpiece simply by articulating facially neutral reasons for decisions that punish people for acting on the understanding that marriage is a man-woman union. Christopher Kaczor
Scholars have recently turned their attention to the subject of children, specifically our duties toward them, including questions about their adoption. Mhairi Cowden's article "What's Love Got to Do with It? Why a Child Does Not Have a Right to Be Loved" critiques the view of Matthew Liao that children have a right to be loved. Steven Mosher
We at PRI celebrate fatherhood, but there are many in our culture today who not only denigrate, but wish to destroy it. Happy Father's Day. Last Wednesday, the British House of Commons decided that a father is completely and totally irrelevant to a child's development. Shenan J. Boquet
Drawing on medical records from over 1.2 million pregnancies in Quebec between 2006 and 2022, a study tracked women's mental health for up to 17 years. Its findings were stark: women who had undergone abortions were far more likely to be hospitalized for mental health disorders, suicide attempts, and substance use disorders. Dianne N. Irving
Researchers and IVF specialists claim that "reproductive cloning" is an exciting if not still a far off possibility - implying that it has yet to be done. Wrong. Guess again. But don't take my word for it. Check out the following scientific and medical references for yourself. Obviously, "abortion" now involves asexually reproduced human embryos and fetuses in vivo. Christopher O. Tollefsen
Moral reasons exist for the use of contraceptives to defend against sexual assault, thanks to the principle of double effect - but these reasons do not apply to using contraception because of the Zika virus.

McElroy's public call for the radical inclusion of those living an LGBTQ lifestyle into full communion with the Church is an empty invitation, as it fails to distinguish between the repentant and the blatantly sinful. McElroy suggests that Catholic teaching on this matter should change so that LGBTQ individuals who live a homosexual lifestyle can receive the Eucharist.
