Sorry if you've heard this before, and if this is a tired argument, I'll gladly read old threads and not run you through it again. But, I was a little vague in my initial post on purpose. My opinion is based mainly on gut feel, and I don't have lots of info or fact to support it. That's why I ask how "we" feel. I think there is something to be said for the philosophy of " if it feels right, do it"......so why SHOULD I be OK with it. If i'm accurately interpreting your tone to mean that you would defend it?

Well, I judge things based on reasons (or at least, I try to). To me, saying that because the baby was helped along by chemistry, which was created in an evil, corrupted human lab, is just silly.
But there are good reasons for your line of thinking, I think. Like, you could bring up potential medical dangers. Or the increased risk of having sextuplets (though I don't know the percentage risk that is).
I mean, I'm not saying one way or the other. As long as the medical procedure produces a healthy child, then I think it's completely moral and okay. But if there are potential problems with it, or there are always sextuplets, then obviously that's not okay.
BTW, I kind of touched on my thinking on the "natural" subject here:
