ERLC releases practical
guide addressing artificial
reproductive technologies
NASHVILLE (BP) – The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) has released a new practical guide designed to help churches navigate the topic of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). The free guide, released Tuesday (Feb. 24), is titled “Desiring Children: A Practical Guide to Addressing Assisted Reproductive Technologies in the Church.” It contains a theological framework addressing the topic of ARTs from a biblical worldview and offers answers to practical scenarios that ministry leaders may face or have faced regarding the topic. The guide also contains a list of additional resources on ARTs from a variety of Christian sources. The guide was written by the ERLC research team, led by RaShan Frost, ERLC director of research and senior fellow. “The desire to have children of one’s own is a good and natural desire that recognizes the gift sons and daughters are to our families and our societies. Unfortunately, due to the fall in Genesis 3, the desire to have children is often complicated by the devastating reality of infertility,” Frost wrote in the guide’s forward.
