- the nature and importance
- IVF
- Artificial insemination by husband or donor
- Egg or Embryo donation
- Surrogacy
- it is part of human nature to want to have children and raise a family, and if treatments can help people achieve this, they must be important
- Christian views
- Catholics believe that life is given by God and that no one has a right to children
- Catholic Church wants to help infertile couples, but only allows methods which do not affect the sanctity of life
- IVF is banned as some eggs are thrown away they believe this is the same as abortion
- artificial insemination or surrogacy involve the sin of male masturbation
- God intended pro-creation to be a part of sex
- Other Christians allow IVF and AIH because;
- marriage is supposed to be unitive and creative, so infertility treatments must be good
- these methods mean the baby will be biological offspring of its mother and father
- all christians would encourage adoption
- Muslims views
- Some Muslims accept it because:
- all muslims should have a family
- the egg and sperm are from the husband and wife
- Others don't allow it because:
- they deny a child's right to know its natural parents
- egg or sperm donation is like adultery
- same as adoption and this is banned in Islam

- it is playing God which is the greatest sin of shirk
- against muslim beliefs on the sanctity of life
- some allow transplants from close relavtives because:
- some muslim lawyers have allowed it
- islam aims to do good and help people
- most do not agree because:
- Christians views:
- most christians agree because:
- leaving organs for others is a way of loving your neighbour
- others disagree because:
- those who believe in resurrection believe God will need the organs to raise the body
- transplanting organs from the dead to the living is playing God
- most christians agree because:
- the nature and importance
