Islam and infertility treatments

Main Points

Islam accepts IVF and AIH becasuse:

• The egg and sperm are from the husband and wife
• All Muslims sould have a family
• The unused embryos are not foetuses so life is not being taken

Islam does not allow any other treatments becasue:

• They deny a child's right to know its natural parents
• Egg or sperm donation is like asultery
• They are the same as adoption which is banned in Islam
