Upon discovery of the In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer method (IVF-ET), outcomes such as production of a great number of embryos, pre-implantation genetic screening and diagnosis, sex selection and multi-parent IVF have gradually become possible. These developments need to be evaluated in the context of the general principles of Islam as well. Islamic communities have accepted the IVF-ET technology, which allows infertile couples to have children, as an exceptional solution and treatment. Nevertheless over time, the IVF method introduced expansions that contradict with religious, ethical and social values.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 02 No. 01 Jan’18.
