S6 04: What's Wrong with IVF? With Katy Faust

About this episode

The episode discusses the ethical implications of IVF from a Christian perspective with guest Katy Faust.

Right now, between one million and ten million embryos created through IVF are frozen in storage. At a time when IVF is legal and widely accepted, how should Christians think about this technology? How does it treat children? Is there a way to participate ethically? I'm grateful to have the brilliant children's rights advocate Katy Faust on to help us think like Christians about this important and sensitive topic.
