IS ARTIFICAL INSEMINATION ALLOWED?
Yes. Futhermore, artificial insemination is not a sexual sin. A woman who becomes pregnant by means of arterficial inseminaton is not considered to have had sex with the sperm donor except in those jurisidictions where artifical insemination is considered sex by secular law. Therefore, under church law, a virgin who becomes pregnant by artifical insemination remains a virgin. A married woman who becomes pregnant by artificial insemination has not commited adultery eventhough the sperm donor was not her husband. A single woman does not commit fornication by becoming pregnant through artifical insemination. Widows, agapetae, and the Kadisti Ilani are to be considered single women. It is a Venial Sin (minor sin) for a man to be a sperm donor because it involves masturbation.
