Ep. #289 - Thinking Critically about IVF w/ Stephanie Gray Connors

Stephanie Gray Connors discusses the Catholic case against the practice of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in great detail. She engages with many common objections, including: Embryos are not plausibly persons so IVF is fine. Isn't the Church pro-life so shouldn't they want more babies? If a building was on fire, would you save a 2-month old child or a shopping cart full of embryos? ---------------- The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.
