Southern Baptists have expressed alarm over the way in vitro fertilization is routinely being practiced at their annual meeting in Indianapolis. They approved a resolution lamenting that the creation of surplus frozen embryos often results in “destruction of embryonic human life.” They urged members to carefully weigh the ethical implications of the technology. And they expressed sympathy with couples “who experience the searing pain of infertility.” The resolution affirms that embryos are human beings from the moment of fertilization, whether in the womb or generated in the laboratory via IVF. The resolution also urged couples to adopt surplus frozen embryos that would otherwise be destroyed.
