Scientists Growing Human Eggs - Future Use in IVF

An experimental fertility procedure is being tested in the UK. It includes a small surgery to remove slivers from the woman's ovary with potentially thousands of immature eggs that could then be 'banked' until the woman wants to have a child. At that point some of her eggs could then be grown in a lab until the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process is conducted. This will likely significantly reduce the costs of IVF, a procedure the Catholic Church is firmly opposed to, as it excludes the unitive act of procreation and generally includes the destruction of unwanted human embryos.
