Description

Artificial insemination, heterologous, refers to a reproductive technology where sperm from a donor is introduced into a woman's reproductive system to achieve pregnancy. This method is often used when a male partner is infertile or when single women or same-sex couples wish to conceive.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be used in various fertility clinics and discussions regarding assisted reproductive technologies. Common variants include 'inseminación de donante' (colloquial) and 'inseminación artificial con donante' (regional), but it is best to stick to the canonical term in formal contexts to avoid confusion.

Example Sentences

Common Interpreter Mistakes
