What sort of fertility treatments are morally acceptable?  Clearly, IVF is absolutely forbidden, but what about other things?

For instances, there are drugs that can increase fertility in both men and women.  They do not destroy life or create it outside the context of the marital act; they just make the marital act "more fertile."  

Thoughts?

I know of someone down south who would eat yams all the time, and wondered why she wasn't getting pregnant. Some foods have qualities which impede ovulation. Sometimes, it's a matter of looking at your diet, and not resorting to chemicals, or pharmaceuticals, to solve your infertility problems. Diet is not solely a woman's issue either. Sometimes a man eats things that make him infertile, and this should be looked at as well.

Back in the day, we didn't have this constant barrage of chemicals being foisted upon us on a daily basis. These chemicals affect people differently. Sometimes looking at exposure to chemicals, especially ingestion of these things through food, can really help determine the cause of infertility problems.

Some people also don't think about the absorption of chemicals through their skin. Your skin is the biggest organ on your body, and if you're using soaps, and lotions, among other personal care products, that have a great amount of unpronounceable ingredients in them, you might want to take a close look at that too.

If you change your diet to include necessary vitamins, exclusion of chemicals in soaps, among other things that can expose us unduly to impediments to conception, et cetera, and that doesn't help, then consult a priest for a good direction to take.

Absolutely you did, just not in the form of pharmaceuticals.  Toxic pesticides, toxic preservatives, toxins from smokestacks, toxins from sewage, etc., etc. etc.  Don't turn false nostalgia into fact.

I wasn't talking about the 1960's and 1970's as "back in the day."

Yes, there are toxins that are derived from the burning of coal. Who owned a ton of interest in the coal mines back then? Well, it was the same guys that own the gas companies and have huge bank holdings.

These are the same dudes that are trying to genetically modify cotton right now, to contain a sterilant to males. It's called Gossypol.

So yes, there is a concerted effort on the part of the eugenicists to eliminate swaths of the population by the unwitting consumption of things like this.

I'm not even saying that everything was peachy keen in the 1940's either, but I think anyone that's informed would agree that we're exposed to entirely too many chemicals, MOSTLY synthetic ones, that has been "approved as safe" by the Fraudulent Drug Administration. (FDA)
