title: [Religion confronting insemination].
abstract: The author attempts the difficult task of summarising the attitude of Catholicism, the Protestant religion, Jehovah's Witnesses, the Greek Orthodox and the Jewish Churches, as well as Islam, to artificial insemination, especially by donor. He discusses reasons for forbidding artificial insemination even from the husband because of onanism. He shows that the Protestant religion alone does not object to AIH and that its role as far as AID is flexible. As far as other religions AID is absolutely proscribed.
