Abstract
Desire to have children and freedom of reproduction. What do medicine, social ethics and churches say?
Abstract childlessness is a heavy burden for couples who want children. Around 15 percent of couples who want children suffer from this load. Reproductive doctors offer their help for artificial fertilization. 69,355 women in Germany took this help in Germany. In this aid, health insurance companies see “sterility therapy” and participate in the costs. What are the problems for the couples who choose this path? What do doctors, psychologists and social ethics say about artificial fertilization and their accompanying and sequelae such as loss of intimacy, multiple births, malformation rates, pre-implantation diagnostics, fetal reductions, seed and egg donations, frozen and excess embryos? What problems do churches and social ethics see in a decision for this path? Which objections do you raise from the child's perspective, which from the perspective of the parents?
