- AID-
Artificial Insemination by Donor. Sperm from donor placed in female womb.

- Against: Children are gift from God and only God can make new life. A life should come to the world from sex, not from technology. Couples should trust God.
- IVF- In Vitro
Fertilisation. The sperm and egg are fertilised in a lab to produce embryos.
Some are placed in womb to assist pregnancy. Others are destroyed after 14
days.
- For:Some Christians believe that it is OK to end to embryos up to 14 days.
- Against: It involves the destruction of embryos, because Catholics believe that a life starts at conception. Children are gift from God and only God can make new life. A life should come to the world from sex, not from technology. Couples should trust God.

embryo is created through IVF; surrogate mother carries baby for 9 months and
hands over to biological parents at birth

- Genetic Engineering: The modification of gene make-up to change the features of a
human.
- Embryo
research- research that scientists conduct on embryos; these may be human
or animal embryos.
- Against: Human life is sacred; it should be protected against experimentation. The embryo is an innocent human being. It is wrong to interfere with God’s creation or change God’s creation.
- For: A human embryo is important but not important as a human being. Research up to 14 days is acceptable. Embryo research could bring medical cures.

original is used.
- Reproductive
cloning would make it possible to reproduce an identical new human being.
(illegal)
- Almost all Christians are against because God create Christians in his own image
- Therapeutic
cloning- scientist use embryo stem cells to create an
identical new human embryo in order to develop cures for diseases.
- For: Therapeutic cloning- can find new treatments and cures for diseases
- Against: Therapeutic cloning- babies should be created out of love, not technology with scientist involved. Embryos destruction.
- Reproductive
cloning would make it possible to reproduce an identical new human being.
(illegal)
- For: Fertility Treatment Genetic Engineering: “Be fruitful and multiply”. Cloning for: "Love your neighbour. Against: Fertility Treatment: “Only God can give and take life” Genetic Engineering: "God created humans in his own image" Cloning: "Do not murder"
