Artificial insemination with homologous (AIH) and heterologous (AID) samples is discussed. Specific emphasis is placed on the indications and timing of the procedure, the type of specimens available, the technique and the expected results. The legal and emotional ramifications of AID are discussed.
Artificial insemination is today an accepted procedure in circumventing sterility. In recent years this procedure gained much popularity as the number of infants available for adoption steadily decreased due to the liberal abortion laws. A review of 15 years of practiced experience (senior author) is presented. In all described cases (168 women) artificial insemination was performed personally by the author. The high rate of success (80% of the presented cases) is attributed to a very meticulous and highly individualized approach to each case. Review of literature is presented.

Homologous artificial insemination (AIH), with the use of a split-ejaculate technique, was performed in 62 couples following a complete infertility investigation. Fifty per cent of all men had a sperm count less than 50 million per milliliter and 80 per cent had sperm motility less than 50 per cent. More important, 85 per cent of the initial semen samples had greater than 40 per cent abnormal forms and liquefaction was delayed beyond 20 minutes in 67 per cent of specimen. The pregnancy rate for the 28 women who underwent the prescribed course of six or more inseminations was 46.4 per cent, for the group of 60 who received split-ejaculate AIH, 21.6 per cent; and for the entire group of 62 couples, 24.2 per cent. In the split-ejaculate group 50 per cent of the pregnancies resulted in first-trimester abortions. It is suggested that the pregnancy wastage in these couples might be due to male factors.
Artificial insemination donor (AID) is the solution for the sterility of many couples where the man is irreversibly sterile. We present the results of AID using frozen sperm in the two first years of work at the Centre d'Etudes et de Conservation du Sperme (C.E.C.O.S.), which is situated in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France. The results that have been obtained are satisfactory and prove the value of this method, but the means at present at the disposal of the Center do not always meet the demands made on it.
