The essay discusses a disagreement occurring in ethical assessment of in vitro fertilisation and some of the procedures involved in infertility treatment in NaProTechnology (Natural Procreative Technology). The disagreement has its roots in two fundamental principles: absolute respect for human life and concern for a truly human beginning of life. These principles are shown in the light of Christian anthropology, which facilitates its better understanding, and names the causes for their rejection in today’s culture. This rejection drives its force from the changes that have been taking place in modern times in understanding man and nature. Appreciation of nature, including human nature, is no longer strong enough to hold ethical norms. Modern culture treats nature as something plastic and dumb, where man fulfills his rationality and freedom, being himself the only source and maker of all ethical norms. Such treatment of nature renders proper understanding of the Christian ethics impossible, especially where it calls for a behaviour according to nature or warns against that contrary to nature. Only return to the classical idea of nature, enriched by Christian theology of creation, enables us to understand and accept the ethical norms discussed in this essay.

The anthropological dualism characteristic of contemporary culture divides the human being into two distinct spheres: material and spiritual. As a result, it is almost impossible to talk meaningfully today about certain topics of fundamental importance: the body, sex, and sexuality. In his philosophical and theological anthropology, John Paul II challenged this error by creating the concept of the spousal and parental sense of the body. The present article is an attempt to apply this concept, key to the so-called “Theology of the Body” of John Paul II. Through critical reflection we can arrive at a broader understanding of fatherhood and motherhood, a way of thinking that breaks the bond between the biological origin of a child and the emotional, real bond formed with his or her parents.

Charakterystyczny dla współczesnej kultury dualizm antropologiczny, który rozdziela człowieka na dwie różne sfery: materialną i duchową, uniemożliwia rozmowę na fundamentalne dla współczesności tematy, dotyczące ciała, płci, seksualności. W swojej filozoficznej i teologicznej antropologii Jan Paweł II zmierzył się z tym błędem, tworząc pojęcie sensu ciała, oblubieńczego i rodzicielskiego. Artykuł jest próbą zastosowania tego pojęcia, kluczowego dla tzw. „teologii ciała” Jana Pawła II, do krytycznej refleksji na temat rozszerzonego rozumienia ojcostwa i macierzyństwa, zrywającego więź pomiędzy biologicznym pochodzeniem dziecka i emocjonalną, realną więzią z rodzicami.
