artificial insemination

artificial insemination
(AI) the introduction of semen into the female genital tract artificially (i.e. not by sexual intercourse) by the use of a syringe or other instrument. Where the semen is from someone other than the woman's husband and the husband has not consented to the insemination, the husband is in law to be treated as the father of the resulting child and the donor is not to be treated as the child's father. See generally Human and Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990.
