“What Fertility Treatments Are Ethical? IVF, IUI, & Embryo Ethics” with Joe Zalot, PhD | Ep. 38

Bioethics Babe by Arina Grossu Agnew

Episode notes

Millions of couples struggle with infertility, yet few realize that not every fertility treatment is ethically the same.

Is IVF the only option? Is IUI morally acceptable? Why does the Catholic Church oppose some reproductive technologies while embracing others? And what happens to the millions of frozen embryos already in storage?
