Q&A Home > F > Fertilization

What are the moral implications of working at a fertility clinic where working hours and pay are excellent? The job involves taking down the patients' history monitoring their cycle with blood work and intrauterine insemination with husband and/or donor sperm. I would probably have no involvement with IVF, which would be handled by the specialists who run the clinic.

As much as the convenience and the excellent pay of this job are very appealing; one should think about the ethics of IVF. We cannot deny that there are many embryos being killed in this process. Although you will not be directly involved with the procedure; just the fact that you are asking this question means that your conscience is not at peace with it. This should be enough reason for you to reject this offer and try to find something else. God always provides the best for us if we rely on Him.
