Obviously, that depends on what function souls perform. Unless the effects are either very subtle or very slow (15+ years), a big result is that IVF is never approved for general medical use (looks like the FDA moved IVF equipment from 'premarket' to 'special controls' in 1998) and the number of IVF babies remains quite small.
Well, unless children born by IVF are clearly
better than other children. But that's its own rather special variety of horror.
