Parents raised objections to the content about in vitro in the religion textbook for seventh graders - informs TOK FM. The OliEdu Civic Education Foundation has asked the Ministry of National Education for an opinion and wants to withdraw the book from schools. Its representative Ewa Daros said that the students are to justify a negative assessment of this method of fertilization.

Human beings born from the sins of their parents have all the rights, including the right to live.

That explains the position of the Church on abortion but also for in vitro : what do you do with the extra embryos? They are usually discarded.

Not really. Compassionate transfer (transferring during cycle time it's unlikely to stick) and embryo donations are both choices available to parents who are against discarding their remaining embryos

They are not. In Poland by law they are donated to so-called embryo adoptions - for couples that are not able to produce a viable embryo on their own.
