Some people would say "no". Their argument is that the treatment of infertility is immoral because in counteracts God's "will" for a couple to be childless. But does this make sense? If this is true, then we would need to reject any medical intervention as going against God's will. For example, if a person develops diabetes and needs insulin to survive, is it morally wrong to give that person insulin because it goes against God's will? Most people would not accept that argument.

Or to take it one step further, it would be wrong to make preparations for a hurricane because that also may thwart God's will?

One view is that some types of fertility treatment may be acceptable but others may not. The morality "test" must be applied to each type of treatment. Most people are comfortable with the notion of infertility treatments that address problems that may prevent the body from successful conception. A common example would be surgery to open blocked fallopian tubes.

Other types of infertility treatments are addressed individually in other articles in this section.
