title: Homologous artificial insemination (AIH) and gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) in Roman Catholicism and Halakhic Judaism.
abstract: While homologous artificial insemination (AIH) and gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) can be viewed as compatible with the teachings of Roman Catholicism and Halakhic Judaism, their permissibility is much more strongly rooted in the latter. Nevertheless, AIH and GIFT cannot be dismissed as unacceptable to Roman Catholics, provided the semen is licitly obtained.
