Donum vitae ("The Gift of Life") addresses moral questions surrounding human life and procreation in light of advancements in biomedical technology. Issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on February 22, 1987, it emphasizes the sanctity of human life from conception and the dignity of procreation within marriage. The document critiques practices like in vitro fertilization and embryo experimentation, asserting that such interventions must respect human dignity and align with moral law. It serves as a guide for ethical considerations in reproductive technologies.
