A Nigeria Catholic Priest Speak Against IVF And Surrogacy

Reverend Father Joseph Obada, a priest of the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, has said that IVF, surrogacy, other medical procedures used to tackle infertility, are not morally admissible. 

Speaking in a recent interview with PMNews, he said: “Any procedure we have is usually a product of ideas. There is a philosophy behind this, it is called the contraceptive mentality which is one of the by-products or natural child of the sexual revolution of the 1960s or thereabouts. 

So, this mentality came as a way of isolating the concept of pleasure from the concept of responsibility. So, they now started having sex without responsibility – which of course gave birth to contraceptive behaviour. 

The natural child of that is all of these methods like surrogacy, and Invitro-fertilisation.
