Definición

  • Also known as donor insemination or alternative insemination, artificial insemination is the process of injecting sperm into a woman's uterus or cervix during ovulation for the purpose of achieving pregnancy. The oldest and one of the most widely forms of assisted reproductive technology, artificial insemination may be carried out under medical supervision or independently, using artificial insemination with husband's sperm (AIH) or from an artificial insemination by a donor (AID), both known and unknown.
