Background and concept of selecting IVF
In vitro fertilization (IVF) refers to the method of culturing the fertilized eggs in the laboratory through IVF technology, and then implanting the normally developed embryos into the mother to make them pregnant and deliver successfully. Buddhist belief attaches importance to respect for life and ethics, and the choice of IVF needs to be considered from the perspective of Buddhism. In the Buddhist belief, the selection of IVF needs to take into account the equality of life, the change of karma, ethics, morality and compassion.
First of all, equality of life is one of the important principles of Buddhist belief. Buddhism believes that all life is equal, whether it is generated by sexual behavior or IVF technology. Test tube baby is a scientific and technological means, which does not violate the Buddhist principle of equality of life. From the perspective of Buddhism, IVF, like other lives, is worthy of respect and protection.
Secondly, there is the concept of karmic transformation in Buddhist belief. Buddhism believes that human life is determined by the karma of previous lives, and the birth of test tube babies is also determined by many causal relationships. The choice of IVF may be due to the inability of the couple to reproduce in a natural way, which is caused by the causal relationship they accumulated in previous lives. Therefore, the choice of IVF does not violate the Buddhist concept of karmic transformation, but is just to solve the transformation of predestination.
Thirdly, ethics and morality are important considerations in Buddhist belief. Buddhism advocates the moral concept of compassion and respect for life. When choosing IVF, it is necessary to consider whether it violates compassion and respect for life. With the development of modern medical technology, IVF technology can help couples who are unable to conceive naturally realize their desire to have children without pushing them to other irresponsible behaviors. Therefore, under the Buddhist belief, the purpose of choosing IVF is to protect and meet the needs of couples for fertility.
How to choose IVF under Buddhist belief
First, the concept of compassion in Buddhist belief can guide couples to treat IVF. Compassion is one of the basic values of Buddhism. Couples who choose IVF should treat IVF with compassion. They should try their best to follow the medical ethics to ensure that the life and health of IVF are fully protected.
Secondly, Buddhist beliefs focus on the transformation of karma. Choosing test tube babies requires couples to think and understand the karmic changes in previous lives and the current karmic factors. They should pay attention to their own inner desire and motivation, and ensure that they choose IVF out of goodwill and compassion, and will not harm other lives.
Third, couples who choose IVF can seek advice and help from Buddhist and Taoist hospitals or doctors. Buddhist and Taoist hospitals often incorporate religious ethics considerations into medical decision-making. They can provide couples with choices and suggestions that are more consistent with Buddhist beliefs, while balancing medical needs and religious ethics.
