Summary

This chapter discusses various religious views on infertility and assisted reproductive technology (ART) based upon the presentations of a symposium at the 59th American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) annual meeting in San Antonio October 2003. It discusses the views of the Coptic orthodox church, Islamic and Jewish perspectives on ART. The Jewish legal system was derived via logic, extrapolation, and argumentation based on the basic commandments in the Torah that were considered incontrovertible and irrefutable axioms and postulates. Therefore, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is absolutely obligatory when it is medically indicated in order for a couple to have children. The spread of technologies of intervention in the processes of human procreation raises very serious moral problems in relation to the respect due to the human being from the moment of conception, to the dignity of the person, of his or her sexuality, and of the transmission of life.
