A Catholic Approach to Reproductive Technologies

Reproductive technologies, especially in vitro fertilization (IVF), remain at the forefront of the news and societal conversation in 2024. In 2017, at our 24th annual conference, we held a colloquium on Catholic, Protestant, & Orthodox Approaches to Reproductive Technologies. Three speakers walked through their convictional approach to these issues, each in turn.  This episode, then, begins a series of three episodes that will carry these talks.  The first, in this episode, is by Marie T. Hilliard, JCL, PhD, RN, of the National Catholic Bioethics Center, presenting a Catholic approach to Reproductive technologies.  The next episode will feature Scott B. Rae, PhD, with a Protestant approach, and the series will conclude with Gayle E. Woloschak, PhD, on an Orthodox approach to reproductive technology.
