What is the church's view on older women (50/60 years old) having IVF?

In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) requires extensive spiritual, medical, and psychological�advice. There are associated risks and responsibilities that need to be discussed to ensure the couple is spiritually and medically�capable of assuming.�The main�stance�the church will take�on this issue is that the�components of the fertilization must be from the married couple. Other embryos cannot be destroyed or received by�or donated to individuals outside the marriage.�As women exceed the age of�35, 38, 40, medical risks increase�for the mother and the child. It is unlikely that women�between the ages of 50-60 will pursue this procedure. If a woman is at this age, the husband is probably of the same age or even older. Because of so many factors discussed�and�not mentioned, such couple will most likely be counseled against IVF.
