Fertility Drugs - the Most Selfish, UnChristian Thing to Do

Taking fertility drugs is the most selfish, unchristian thing to do. It is selfish because there are so many kids in this world that need a home so people should adopt rather than using fertility drugs to have kids. The world would be so much better if all kids had a home with loving
 parents. There would be less criminals in the world if kids had a good environment and loving parents that help them grow into good human beings.

I am not a Christian. Christians are against stem cell use for research. How come Christians aren't against fertility drugs and other procedures that people use to help them procreate? If Christians are against using science to help cure diseases and other things then why are they not against using science in procreating. Don't they believe procreation is God's work?

It also makes me sick when I hear about people who use fertility drugs and have like 6 or so large amount of babies. There are so many kids that need a home and people are so selfish that they will take drugs and have a ton of kids when there are so many kids that they could adopt.

It's also sickening when these people that have multiple babies are rewarded with money, fame, houses and other stuff just because they had so many babies at once. There are so many kids and people in the world that need food, shelter and money but instead it is the people who take fertility drugs and have multiple babies that get help and get rewarded for their actions.

The people who have multiple babies after taking fertility drugs should not be given attention, money or anything because there is no reason for this. There are far more other deserving people that deserve attention, money and help. Homeless people should be given the attention, money and help.

unless you are going through infertility struggles you do not understand. there is nothing wrong with having the desire for a child of ones own. it is woven into us, this need to have life beyond our own. i am a christian and i have taken the drugs and its not as easy as it sounds. you don't just spontaneously get pregnant on the first try. our re has told us to consider ivf but we don't want to go that route. we would also never weed out any babies the Lord blesses us with. we have told the drs what we get we're keeping. as for the threat of miscarriage. i believe God is in control of everything. telling someone not to take fertility drugs b/c they have low hormones is no different then telling someone to not take pain medication. pain medication is not essential to ones health or recovery but most people want it anyway. i am torn about ivf really. i do not sgree with man creating embryos and i certainly don't agree with discarding or freezing them but on the other hand, there are so

Interesting article, especially the second-last paragraph. Hmmm...anyone in particular come to mind ??? My brother and his wife are semi-fundamentalist Christians. I say semi because they aren't fanatical, but they DO believe God practically plans their breakfast. They are struggling with infertiility, and their only child is three and a half. It was an easy, natural pregnancy, but their subsequent attempts are failing. They have the money for in vitro, which has a very high success rate. So why isn't she pregnant after all this time? Something tells me that, because of their Christian faith, they are rejecting in vitro, because IVF carries a risk of fetal death; typically, IVF involves implantation of several fertilized eggs, and it's common for at least one to spontaneously abort.

Heather, You do know that fertility treatments that are 'helping' all of these poor people are creating piles of dead fetuses and babies? Many of the extra babies created by fertility drugs are never going to make it outside the womb. They die when the pregnancy becomes too complicated after five or six months. They die when 'selective reduction' is used to weed out the excess fetuses.

They aren't being rewarded; they are being helped. And yes, someone with six kids is quite deserving of help. These treatments don't always result in multiples, nor do people do it to have multiples. Not everyone has the $30,000 or more it costs to adopt PER child, and fertility treatments are often covered by health insurance companies. Why don't you go practice what you preach and adopt some children?
