Immaculate means stainless, which IVF is.

Well, whatever they push up there, it has to be immaculately clean, so I guess the answer is yes!

Good question ..
I do not believe it is , if God wants you have a child then you shall , it almost reminds me of a cloned human ..
But we also have to stop & think what if some of the immunizations that they got as a child ruined them from having children ..
Immunizations are also man made which I do not believe in ..
Well so my answer to your question is this : I do not believe it is immaculate conception threw IVF ..
There is always adoption maybe God took away the ability for some Male/Females from having their natural born children , because there are so many children who need parents & good homes ..
Something to think about ..

Actually, I'm amazed at how many people, including most Catholics, get this wrong.
Jesus was NOT immaculately conceived.
Mary was.
Mary was miraculously born without sin so she could bear the child of God.
Folks, if you're going to believe in something, try to do the most basic research to actually KNOW what it means.

You're misapplying the definition of the word. It means stainless in the sense of without blemish or impurity, or in the sense of childbirth, the virginity of the mother. So no, IVF is not immaculate.

Wow, Good point.
but your comparing the birth of Jesus which was Immaculate conception, meaning from the holy Ghost,Gods spirit, Not by sex but by creation. If he can form us from a lump of clay, he surely can create Jesus in the womb of Mary.
where as IVF done with test tubes, syringes, sperm, egg, incubation period, injections,sterile conditions in a Laboratory, 50-50 chance of success, etc..etc...etc....

Is steel immaculate? It's usually stainless.

Yep if the woman giving birth by IVF has never had sexual intercourse, she is a virgin. This is called a real virgin birth.
