Sažetak
One of the life sphere, in which is included co-responsibility of spousal's in realization of God's co-Creation plan, is possibility of their procreation. Unfortunately, we are witness of increasing number of married couples who don’t have completely/natural possibility of that parenthood achievement. In that physical denial, they are not satisfied with only superficial knowledge of Church’s imperative of in/approval; but they are seeking for acceptable understanding of their condition; as also the temptation of medically-assisted methods on their disposal.
Contemporary medicine is responding on this problem with offer of around twenty different methods of medically assisted fertilization (surgical and pharmacological interventions), artificial techniques which are facilitating/supporting/”substituting” the unwinding of generative physically processes and trying to equivalently replace the marital sterility. They are presenting the stork of contemporary age.
Since those interventions are affecting the very beginning and the integrity of human life, with rapid progress of biomedical technology, we are trying to indicate and explain some of moral-bioethical implications which have been in centre of certain legislative and Christian moral in/approvals; attending to avoid that the artificial assisted fertilization wouldn’t transform in therapeutically manipulative process and to reduce the marital joining on pure physically-technically act, which is substituting the responsibility of persons, and not only helping their generative potentially.
In order to suggest our believers most authentically Christian moral way on transmission of the human life, our scope of 32°nd unit of our Project was primary to try to establish the genetically identity, on which biological basis could be developed the mature faithful identity.
