Introduction: The Ethics of Embryo Adoption and the Catholic Tradition

Brakman, Sarah-Vaughan; Weaver, Darlene Fozard

Pages: 3 –23

[In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET or more commonly IVF), first successfully accomplished in humans in 1978 (Steptoe & Edwards, 1978), has become the treatment of choice for infertile couples in the developed world. IVF, along with other forms of assisted reproductive technology...

Heterologous Embryo Transfer: Metaphor and Morality

Stempsey, Reverend William E.

Pages: 25 –41

[Discussion of the ethics of Heterologous Embryo Transfer (HET) has been framed in terms of several images: “rescue” and “adoption” of embryos, and “surrogacy.” Moral arguments using such language often attempt, in the manner of traditional casuistry, to liken the implantation of embryos to other...

Human Embryo Transfer and the Theology of the Body

Althaus, Catherine

Pages: 43 –67

[Establishing the morality of frozen embryo transfer is a delicate task. Debate amongst Catholic philosophers and theologians has developed over time. As I see it, at the centre of the argument lie differences in opinion concerning the specification of:]

On the Moral Objectionability of Human Embryo Adoption

Pacholczyk, Reverend Tadeusz

Pages: 69 –83

[The disposition of abandoned frozen embryos remains a topic of intense discussion as pressure to sanction human embryonic destruction for stem cell research continues to build. Debates about “embryo adoption” have intensified as part of this discussion. A number of children have been born this...

Could Human Embryo Transfer Be Intrinsically Immoral?

Tollefsen, Christopher O.

Pages: 85 –101

[This paper is centrally concerned with a relatively narrow question: Could the practice of human embryo transfer be intrinsically immoral, malum in se, in particular because it is in some way a violation of the good of marriage? While I will answer in the negative to this narrow question, I want...

Ethical Considerations in Defense of Embryo Adoption

Brown, Brandon P.; Eberl, Jason T.

Pages: 103 –118

[The Roman Catholic Church clearly regards in vitro fertilization (IVF) and related techniques of artificial procreation as immoral because these practices are contrary to the unity of marriage and the dignity of spouses (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith [CDF]), 1987, Donum Vitae). The...

RealMothers and Good Stewards: The Ethics of Embryo Adoption

Brakman, Sarah-Vaughan

Pages: 119 –138

[The recent debates within Roman Catholicism on heterologous embryo transfer (HET) – the practice of transferring a previously cryopreserved human embryo to the uterus of a woman who is not the genetic mother – have been surprising to both Catholics and non-Catholics. Given the Church’s position...

Embryo Adoption Theologically Considered: Bodies, Adoption, and the Common Good

Weaver, Darlene Fozard

Pages: 141 –159

[When a genuinely contested question arises in moral theology, initial analyses inevitably settle around particular lines of argument and counter-argument that rely on relevant moral claims which are presumed stable and settled. Mutual criticism, discussion, and further reflection bring more...

From Rescuing Frozen Embryos to Respecting the Limits of Nature: Reframing the Embryo Adoption Debate

Lauritzen, Paul

Pages: 161 –174

[In 1985, Gary Trudeau and the Universal Press Syndicate agreed not to run six installments of the comic strip “Doonesbury” which parodied “The Silent Scream,” an anti-abortion film that showed ultrasound images of an abortion of a 12-weekold fetus taking place. The ultrasound images of the...

Embryo Adoption? An Egalitarian Perspective

Mahowald, Mary B.

Pages: 175 –198

[Ethical questions about embryos generally center on determination of what if any moral status or right to life1 is attributed to them; analysis of embryo adoption hinges not only on that determination but also on the decisions of and impact on those affected. In this essay I only minimally...
