Why some health experts are worried after Southern Baptists vote to oppose IVF
June 14, 2024
WFYI-Radio, an NPR affiliate in Indianapolis, covers a resolution by the Southern Baptist Convention to oppose in vitro fertilization. Paula Amato, M.D., who serves as president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, says, “I want to empower patients to act with their conscience.” However, she notes that the body’s natural process for creating embryos is itself inefficient, with 40% to 60% of embryos never resulting in a live birth for people conceiving without IVF.
