IVF is Not the Way: The False Promises of Artificial Procreation

• Examines IVF through scientific, theological, and philosophical lenses
• Explains the Church’s moral reasoning with clarity and compassion
• Includes real-life testimonies and emotional case studies
• Offers a hopeful, faith-filled response to infertility
• A thoughtful gift for couples discerning procreation options

In this deeply engaging and accessible work, Catholic scientist and ethicist Stacy Trasancos takes readers on a profound journey through the moral and spiritual complexities of in vitro fertilization (IVF). 

While public opinion increasingly supports IVF—even among conservative circles—Trasancos invites us to examine this issue beyond sentiment and science alone. 

Using a unique blend of theology, philosophy, and empirical insight, she articulates the Church’s enduring wisdom on why IVF, though often seen as a blessing for infertile couples, ultimately conflicts with the dignity of human life.

Drawing on years of research, the voices of families who have faced these choices, and centuries of Catholic moral teaching, Trasancos addresses critical ethical questions: 

• What are the consequences of separating procreation from the marital act? 
• How are children and embryos affected by IVF? 
• How can we accompany couples suffering from infertility without compromising truth or love?

Rooted in hope and compassion, this book highlights the five fundamental principles of human life, the rights of embryonic children, and the spiritual realities of infertility. 

Dr. Trasancos affirms that God never abandons us in our suffering and that true love respects both the mystery and sanctity of life.
