10. Read and summarize ERD paragraphs #: 40, 41, 42, 48, 52, 53.

ERD paragraphs:

40. Heterologous fertilization (that is, any technique used to achieve conception by the use of
gametes coming from at least one donor other than the spouses) is prohibited because it is
contrary to the covenant of marriage, the unity of the spouses, and the dignity proper to
parents and the child.

41. Homologous artificial fertilization (that is, any technique used to achieve conception using
the gametes of the two spouses joined in marriage) is prohibited when it separates
procreation from the marital act in its unitive significance (e.g., any technique used to
achieve extracorporeal conception).

48. In case of extrauterine pregnancy, no intervention is morally licit which constitutes a direct
abortion.

42. Because of the dignity of the child and of marriage, and because of the uniqueness of the
mother-child relationship, participation in contracts or arrangements for surrogate
motherhood is not permitted. Moreover, the commercialization of such surrogacy
denigrates the dignity of women, especially the poor.

52. Catholic health institutions may not promote or condone contraceptive practices but
should provide, for married couples and the medical staff who counsel them, instruction
both about the Church’s teaching on responsible parenthood and in methods of natural
family planning.

53. Direct sterilization of either men or women, whether permanent or temporary, is not
permitted in a Catholic health care institution. Procedures that induce sterility are
permitted when their direct effect is the cure or alleviation of a present and serious
pathology and a simpler treatment is not available
