Hi, guys —

Thank you for reading my question.

The reason I am writing is because I will be participating in a debate on in-vitro fertilization and I would like to know what the Church believes about the definition of a human life.

I would also like to know if their view is stated in a religious text so I will be able to cite my sources.

Thank you for your help.

Richard

Mike replied:

Hi, Richard —

I found six documents on the Vatican web site that either mentioned the exact word
In-Vitro fertilization or that may assist you in your debate. 

From the Pontifical Academy For Life.

From the (CDF) Congregation For The Doctrine Of The Faith.

From Pope St. John Paul II.

These other important documents may help also:
