In vitro fertiization, gamete donation, surrogacy, artificial insemination and such as that are all offenses against the Natural and Divine Law. The primary reason is that the procreation of a human person is a matter of such great dignity, that violation of the bond between father and mother is against natural justice proper to the act of human generation. The moral inviolability of the connection between intercourse and life-giving (procreation) protect the bond between the father and mother and protect the dignity of the offspring.
