Summary/Abstract: The availability of medically assisted procreation techniques for some is a boon, giving the opportunity to have their own offspring, for others a threat to natural parenthood. Ethical and philosophical aspects dominate the discussion on the normative shape of artificially assisted procreation treatments and their impact on the relationship between motherhood and fatherhood. When confronted with a specific value system, some of the solutions proposed in this area cannot be approved. Noticing the paradoxical dangers of the progress of medicine, Henryk Cioch strongly opposed the use of the so-called artificial (unnatural) conception techniques. He considered any method of human interference in the process of conception of a child deviating from the natural associating of spouses and serving the creation of a new life to be immoral and therefore unacceptable
