IVF: Healing and The Catholic Perspective on Infertility

In this conversation, Katie McMann discusses her journey with infertility and the founding of Shiloh IVF Ministry, which provides support for individuals and couples who have undergone IVF. She shares her personal experiences, the emotional challenges faced during the IVF process, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding frozen embryos. The discussion also highlights the different ways men and women cope with infertility and the complexities introduced by third-party reproduction. In this conversation, the speakers explore the complexities of infertility, the differences in grieving between genders, and the importance of understanding and supporting couples facing infertility. They discuss the establishment of ministries like Shiloh IVF and Fruitful Hollow, which provide resources and support for those navigating infertility, including alternatives to IVF. The conversation also touches on the Catholic Church's teachings regarding reproductive technologies and the moral implications of IVF, emphasizing the need for open discussions with children about their origins and the role of God in the process.

IVF is often sold as a treatment for infertility, and couples who struggle with infertility flock to it. On the surface, it appears to more than adequately deal with the problem, but if you scratch the surface, there are a host of issues that plague the couples, children, and industry. And the funny thing is, IVF doesn’t actually cure infertility. Whatever biological issues caused the infertility will still exist after IVF treatment. Katie McMann discusses her own journey with IVF, the Catholic perspective on IVF, healing from the negative effects of IVF, and setting up a ministry to help people struggling with having used IVF.
