ERD 40, 41, 42, 48, 52, 53

  1. Heterologous fertilization (that is, any technique used to achieve conception by the use of
    gametes coming from at least one donor other than the spouses) is prohibited because it is
    contrary to the covenant of marriage, the unity of the spouses, and the dignity proper to
    parents and the child.28
  2. Homologous artificial fertilization (that is, any technique used to achieve conception using
    the gametes of the two spouses joined in marriage) is prohibited when it separates
    procreation from the marital act in its unitive significance (e.g., any technique used to
    achieve extracorporeal conception).29
  3. Because of the dignity of the child and of marriage, and because of the uniqueness of the
    mother-child relationship, participation in contracts or arrangements for surrogate
    motherhood is not permitted. Moreover, the commercialization of such surrogacy
    denigrates the dignity of women, especially the poor.30
  4. In case of extrauterine pregnancy, no intervention is morally licit which constitutes a direct
    abortion.31
  5. Catholic health institutions may not promote or condone contraceptive practices but
    should provide, for married couples and the medical staff who counsel them, instruction
    both about the Church’s teaching on responsible parenthood and in methods of natural
    family planning.
  6. Direct sterilization of either men or women, whether permanent or temporary, is not
    permitted in a Catholic health care institution. Procedures that induce sterility are
    permitted when their direct effect is the cure or alleviation of a present and serious
    pathology and a simpler treatment is not available.34
