Summary/Abstract: One of the life sphere, in which is included co-responsibility of spousal’s in realization of God’s co-Creation plan, is possibility of their procreation. Unfortunately, we are witness of increasing number of married couples who don’t have completely/natural possibility of that parenthood achievement. In that physical denial, they are not satisfied with only superficial knowledge of Church’s imperative of in/approval; but they are seeking for acceptable understanding of their condition; as also the temptation of medically-assisted methods on their disposal. Contemporary medicine is responding on this problem with offer of around twenty different methods of medically assisted fertilization (surgical and pharmacological interventions), artificial techniques which are facilitating/ supporting/»substituting« the unwinding of generative physically processes and trying to equivalently replace the marital sterility. They are presenting the stork of contemporary age.
