There are plenty of non-genetic causes of infertility. Endometriosis, and prior surgery can play roles in a womans ability to conceive. Neither are necessarily genetic, so your Darwinism theory holds maybe 30% water, leaving a lot of room for 'unexplained infertility'.
Either way, eggs and sperm used for IUI/IVF undergo testing for genetic defects, so I could argue that babies concieved via either of these methods are more likely lower the rate of birth disorders. Plenty of preliminary tests are run to determine if the fertility problem is genetic. No right minded doctor would allow fertility treatment if a genetic disorder was a possibility.
Is it selfish to want something that is inherent to all animals in existence? Try turning that primal urge off...
