Your GOALS for the end of
this lesson are…
OUTCOMES…
STARTER…Look carefully at the
title of this book...
Why do you think some Christians are ashamed that they
cannot naturally have children?
Think Pair Share
“....be fruitful and multiply and fill the
earth...”
What did God command human
beings to do?
Why might this cause problems
for infertile Christians?
So many Christians believe it is their religious
duty to start a family. For many the sole purpose
of sex is to reproduce and
fulfil God’s commandment.
Christians who find themselves unable to
have children often feel ashamed and
disappointed as they are unable to fulfil this commandment.
Imagine Monica and Chandler are a
Christian couple who have just received this
news...
Explain how they may respond and why.
What might they do next and why?
CHRISTIAN RESPONSES...
CHRISTIAN RESPONSES... Use these picture clues to help you
So Christian couples may respond in a variety of
ways... - Some may accept that it is God’s
choice for them not to have children – it is part of His plan.
- Some may find other ways to direct their parental skills, such
as school, charity work and church work.
- Some may choose to adopt, giving unwanted and orphaned
children a loving home- Some may choose to conceive a
child through fertility treatment.
This last response relating to fertility treatments causes conflict amongst Christians – Some AGREE with them
while others believe they are WRONG and completely
DISAGREE!
CHRISTIAN RESPONSES...
Grade BMost will be
able to explain how some Christian
couples may respond to not being able to have children.

Some Christians accept any sort
of infertility treatment.

Did you achieveYOUR goals?…
OUTCOMES…
CHRISTIAN ATTITUDES TO FERTILITY TREATMENTS…
Read the Biblical
quotes you have been
given.
Decide if they are FOR or
AGAINST the use of infertility
treatments.
Can you give a reason WHY
you have categorised them either
FOR or AGAINST?
WHAT IF...?Even though some Christians agree with some
fertility treatments for many it would still depend upon the situation of the couple as to whether they
believed it to be RIGHT.
How do you think a Christian would respond to the following?...
1. A same-sex couple wanting to use fertility treatments to start a family.
2. A married couple wanting to use fertility treatments to have more children.
3. An unmarried couple wanting to use fertility treatments to start a family.
RIGHT or WRONG?
Do you agree?Is it WRONG for Christians to seek
medical treatment if they are infertile?Complete Page 71 of your revision
workbook.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?…“Techniques which call
someone other than the husband and wife to be
involved in the making of a child is very wrong.
Techniques which separate sex from the making of a baby are unacceptable”(The Catholic Church)
