Southern Baptist resolution on IVF meant to help navigate ethical considerations in reproductive technologies, scholar says
The recent Southern Baptist Convention held in Indianapolis, IN adopted a resolution addressing the dignity of the human embryo and the ethical implications of widely used reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). The resolution, directed primarily at pastors, ministry leaders, and couples, urges careful deliberation before engaging in reproductive technologies, a topic that has long been debated within the Southern Baptist community and the broader pro-life movement.
