This paper analyzes the moral issues of in vitro fertilization in the context of the Philippines by first unpacking the socio-cultural factors that may influence Filipino couples to avail themselves of IVF.The paper then analyzes the moral merits of the Guidelines on the Ethics and Practice of Assisted Reproductive Technology and Intrauterine Insemination in the Philippines in the light of the Catholic tradition.This analysis will give an overview of how doctors practice IVF specifically in the Philippines.The paper then presents three moral objections to the practice of IVF.Finally, some Filipino virtues are offered as cultural resources that may help infertile couples in bearing the cross of infertility.This paper hopes to contribute to the scarce resources that tackle this issue from the Filipino perspective since most bioethical papers are limited to the Western perspective
