Artificial insemination

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A vet artificially inseminates a horse

Artificial insemination (also called eutelegenesis, fertilization in-vitro)[1] is when sperm is put into the cervix of a female to make her pregnant without sexual intercourse. It is when the sperm of a male is extracted from the body and inserted the cervix and which in theory will make a woman pregnant. It is often used for breeding livestock (animals) outside of being used for humans.

It can also be used in human insemination. Usually when it is done for humans to become pregnant it is because others ways do not work, or are taking too long. Artificial insemination helps human same-sex couples (called lesbians) become pregnant to have children without adoption. It is the process of breeding without sexual intercourse.
