HIGH-TECH BABIES… EXPLORING NEW CHALLENGES TO HUMAN DIGNITY |
 May 2009
In less than 30 years, a new multi-billion dollar industry has developed around the world and now regularly makes the headlines: ASSISTED PROCREATION. Its promise is irresistible: the infertile couple could bring home a baby!
In this 12 page brochure, written in accessible language, the Catholic Organization for Life and Family (COLF) takes a good look at this issue and reflects on the suffering of infertile couples, on the technologies used to create life and on their impact on the life of people and society.
Youth and adults will find here answers to a number of questions so many people ask: what causes infertility? How effective is in vitro fertilization? What about genetic screening? Are all assisted procreation technologies ethically acceptable? A must read!
