Jesuit Father Dominic Woo Jae-myung, member of the National Bioethics Committee in Korea, said the Catholic Church is concerned about the millions of embryos destroyed during IVF procedures.
“It is normal for a woman to produce one egg a month. But for the IVF, a woman has to artificially produce 10-20 eggs at once,” said Father Woo, moral theology professor at Jesuit-run Sogang University.
He added that the artificial procedure causes many side effects to the woman’s body and that the success rate of the IVF is just 18 percent.”
But women Catholics in Korea argued, saying the IVF gives hope to infertile couples. “Though the IVF is against the Church’s doctrine, it is also true that it is very helpful to couples who cannot conceive,” said Sister Clara Lee Young-ja, head of the Catholic Women’s Hotline.

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Two Jesuit-run Catholic universities have received the largest philanthropic gifts in their history, while a third has been given $8 million by the owners of the New Orleans Saints football franchise. Georgetown University in Washington received an $87 million endowment to support medical research at its medical center, while businessman and Fordham University alumnus Mario J. Gabelli donated $25 million to the New York school to expand student scholarships and faculty chairs and to create a new Center of Global Investment Analysis. The $8 million gift to Loyola University New Orleans from the Gayle & Tom Benson Charitable Foundation, run by the Saints owners, will be used to renovate a former library building to house the Tom Benson Jesuit Center and a chapel. The Georgetown endowment originated in a $1.2 million charitable trust established by the will of the late Harry J. Toulmin in 1965. His widow, Virginia, managed the trust for the next 45 years and grew it to its current value. She died June 13 at age 84. The gift will fund the Warwick Evans and Mary Mason Washington Evans Medical Research Endowment in honor of Harry Toulmin's grandparents.
