Abstract

Insemination was first documented in the Hebraic Talmud, dating from the second century, followed by records in 1322, when an Arab artificially inseminated a mare. Table 1 summarizes the highlights in the development of artificial insemination. Until recently, artificial insemination by donor semen (AID) was generally a subject of either ignorance or disapproval. There is, however, a growing acceptance by clients, as AID offers the only means of achieving pregnancy for about 25% of all infertile couples (Joyce, 1979). During the last 5 to 10 years, AID practice has dramatically in-creased in nearly every country of the developed world. The exact number of inseminations is unknown, as AID is not registered in any country, mainly due to the uncertain legal status of the procedure (McLaren, 1973). According to estimations in the U.S.A., 5000 to 10000 babies are born annually after AID (Curie-Cohen et al., 1979). The increased demand for instrumental insemination can be attributed to the liberalization of attitudes towards sexual relationships and to the relative scarcity of babies for adoption which has followed by legalization of induced abortion in many countries.
