I don't think it does make a difference and I don't see how it makes a difference how someone gets pregnant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One couple were not believers and it pretty much destroyed them financially, emotionally, and took out the marriage too due to all the care issues. The believers did a little better but still had a really, really rough go of it, and they said the worst part was wondering if they had run ahead of the Lord in their pursuit of having children.

Is it acceptable to have one of these treatments from a Christian perspective?Since we do not find any reference to such practices in Scripture, and since this does not follow the natural course of events, the Christian perspective would be to ask the Lord to remove the obstacles and provide a couple with a child which is truly theirs. Barring that there are endless opportunities for adoption, and there are a lot of children who could benefit from Christian care. There can be all kinds of unpleasant issues following embryo or egg donation which are not evident until must later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have some reasons for believing this is acceptable in the light of Scripture, please enlighten us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
