Artificial Insemination by Donor (AID) is alright for some Christians because they believe they should try to have a baby in any means necessary, then again some Christians believe it is not right because you are having a sexual intercourse without your spouse and in some cases this will be called adultery and may lead to infidelity.
Some Christians say that there is no problem with egg donation because they believe this is more important than having a child with a genetic mother, although some disagree because as stated above the fertilised eggs are thrown away which is murder and Christians believe in the sanctity of life which means all life is holy and sacred.
Christianity teaches that the purpose of marriage is to have children, which is why lots of Christians believe there is no problem with Embryo donation, although some Christians would say that the new born child will prevented from knowing his real parents.
A quote from the bible says ‘be fruitful and multiply’ which means that Christians should procreate, but if you are infertile this cannot happen that is why many Christians believe there is no problem with surrogacy, as this will carry on the life cycle as they have been told in the Bible, but even being a strict Christian they still may believe that this is not the right thing to do because it is explained that those who accept egg donation do so because they consider the gestational role of motherhood more important that genetic motherhood and, hence, that they cannot accept surrogacy which entails a denial of the importance of the gestational relationship. In addition it is argued that while there is nothing wrong with adoption, there is something undesirable about creating children specifically for the purpose of adoption.
Some Muslims believe there is nothing wrong with IVF because this is simply using medicine to bring about the family life which all Muslims are expected to do. Muslims have no reason to go against this because they believe it is appropriate.
Another treatment Muslims would agree with would be AIH, they believe there is no problem with this as the egg and sperm is from the husband and wife, they have no reason to go against this cause.
The treatment called AID is strictly forbidden in the Qur’an as this is similar to adultery which is haram (against the Qur’an).
Egg donation is not permitted in Islam, if a couple cannot have a baby than the husband should get another wife there is no problem with this in Islam, egg donation (or organ donation) is only permitted in a life or death situation.
Embryo donation requires egg and sperm from a third party which is not permitted in Islam and the discarded embryos is a waste of life.
Surrogacy is giving the embryo to another woman to carry on the pregnancy in her womb this is not permissible in Islam, it also not permitted for a Muslim woman to act as a surrogate mother.
