Donor insemination : an overview / by Rona Achilles.: Z1-1989/3-41-4E-PDF

"Donor insemination (DI) is a type of artificial insemination that has been practised in Canada for several decades and has had little public attention or research interest. It is a reproductive alternative to sexual intercourse chosen by a variety of people for different reasons. The medicalization of DI has encouraged secrecy about the procedure and has allowed neglect of important psychosocial, ethical, and legal issues associated with the process. The author provides an overview of the practice of DI and points to gaps in the knowledge base in research on donor insemination"--Executive Summary, page vii.
