Abstract

Upon discovery of the In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer method (IVF-ET), outcomes such as production of a great number of embryos, pre-implantation genetic screening and diagnosis, sex selection and multi-parent IVF have gradually become possible. These developments need to be evaluated in the context of the general principles of Islam as well. Islamic communities have accepted the IVF-ET technology, which allows infertile couples to have children, as an exceptional solution and treatment. Nevertheless over time, the IVF method introduced expansions that contradict with religious, ethical and social values.
