A reductive reading of seeks to limit its appeal to a ban on contraception. In truth, however, it offers a vision of human sexuality and conjugal love with broad and enduring relevance. In setting forth the intrinsic complementarity and irreducibility of the unitive and procreative dimensions of the conjugal act, Paul VI has given us a hermeneutical key for assessing many contemporary ethical dilemmas in human reproductive medicine. From this perspective, this article seeks to apply the logic of to several real-life scenarios confronted by medical practitioners, educators, and ethicists working in the field of fertility and reproductive health. These include a consideration of the ethics of prescribing hormonal contraceptives, the possibilities of investigating male infertility, issues of cooperation in counseling and assisting conception in same-sex relationships, the ethics pertaining to assisted reproductive technology (ART), the contested case of prenatal adoption, and the application of double-effect reasoning.

对[教皇保罗六世的通谕《人类生命》（Humanae Vitae）]进行简化解读的目的是将其吸引力局限于对避孕的禁令。然而事实上，它提供了一种对人类性行为和婚姻之爱的见解，具有广泛而持久的相关性。保罗六世阐述了婚姻行为中结合与生育层面的内在互补性和不可分割性，为我们提供了一个诠释学关键，用以评估人类生殖医学中许多当代伦理困境。从这个角度来看，本文旨在将《人类生命》的逻辑应用于生育与生殖健康领域的医生、教育工作者和伦理学家所面临的一些现实生活场景。这些场景包括对开具激素避孕药的伦理考量、男性不育症调查的可能性、在同性关系中提供咨询和协助受孕方面的合作问题、与辅助生殖技术（ART）相关的伦理、产前收养这一有争议的案例以及双重效果推理的应用。
在教皇保罗六世通谕《人类生命》颁布五十周年之际，本文旨在通过将其推理应用于生殖医学中的当代困境，捍卫其与现代社会的持久相关性。它考量了开具激素避孕药的伦理、男性不育症调查、在同性关系中提供咨询和协助受孕方面的合作、辅助生殖技术、产前收养以及双重效果推理应用的实际案例。
