artificial insemination

Introduction by instrument of semen from a sperm bank or donor into the female reproductive tract to bring about fertilization. Originally used by animal breeders to improve stock with sperm from high-quality males, in the 20th century it was developed for use in humans, to help the infertile. See in vitro fertilization.

The sperm for artificial insemination may come from the husband (AIH) or a donor (AID).
