artificial insemination The introduction of sperm into the female reproductive tract by means other than a partner's penis. Two categories have been known as
AIH (using the husband's sperm — now more appropriately AIP) and
AID (using sperm from a donor). Artificial insemination may be proposed by doctors for the treatment of some types of
infertility, or when there is a strong chance, of an infant having a
congenital abnormality if fathered by the partner. Social, ethical, and legal issues arise with respect to AID for lesbians and also concerning AIP after the death of a partner, since it is possible to use sperm frozen in advance of anticipated demise. The custom in Aldous Huxley's
Island, where the semen of great and good men long deceased could be selected from a frozen store is a practical possibility — if a social fantasy.
