Family Problems With Artificial Insemination

Many men who are unable to reproduce decide on fertility clinics with a degree of reluctance driven by the fear that the woman, in her desire to bear a child, will choose an alternative method of reproduction. They also feel that the technology of artificial insemination diminishes their role in the reproductive process and harbor an underlying emotion of reconciled resentment.

This reluctant bitterness is often palpable in healthy, young men who are infertile and accompany their wives to fertility clinics.

Of real concern is the possibility the child will not bear similar characteristics as the husband does. Doctors go to great lengths to select a sample from a donor that matches the husband physically. Nonetheless there exists a tendency with infertile, married men to distance themselves from the child which does not carry their genes. In such cases men, so disturbed, have frequently to resort to counseling.

Women, who opt for artificial insemination whatever the reason, often become obsessed with the new technology to the extent of endeavoring to select a ‘designer baby’ of a pre-determined gender and characteristics. Many women find the high cost of the procedure an obstacle and in their eagerness to bear a child, often turn to alternative methods like seeking friends, placing advertisements in newspapers and, in some cases, cohabiting with casually-met strangers.

Some children go through life unaware of their biological origins. Others, more perceptive, recognize the differences when old enough and often ask questions. Opinion is divided on whether or not the child should be told. Often the knowledge of birth by artificial insemination has a negative effect on the well-being of the child.
