Mexico City, Mexico, Feb 29, 2004 / 22:00 pm
The president of the Mexican Bishops Conference, Bishop José Rábago, warned this weekend that the Catholic Church rejects assisted reproduction and considers it immoral.
“In vitro fertilization is most certainly considered immoral by the Church,” Bishop Martín told reporters at the conclusion of Mass in the Cathedral of León, Mexico.
“It’s not my teaching, there is a very clear document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith which effectively deals with this subject and points out that it is to be considered immoral,” he explained.
Bishop Rábago underscored that the Church considers immoral artificial insemination either with the sperm of the husband or with that of another man.
