For those of you who believe that a person is created at the time of conception, what are your thoughts on in vitro fertilization?

Is it an issue for you? Or does it only count if it growing in a woman's body?

Of course it's a person, albeit one not created in a particularly 'natural' way.

IVF is not something, for instance, the Catholic Church recognises as licit (however horribly difficult that might be for some couples :( ). But that doesn't for a moment mean the person created in IVF isn't a person in the same manner and at the same time as anyone else!

Well i agree with that. No difference in that respect.
But i was wondering more what people thought with regard to the fact that in vitro necessarily involves several embryos being discarded.

@Pikachu for Catholics at least, that's one of the principal reasons to reject it!
@Persephonee

That makes sense.
