Do you think that a woman going to a sperm bank to get pregnant is a sin? Please explain your answer with reasons. |

I have been working on this topic in R.E recently. ![]() No, I don't believe it is a sin. It is the couples decision to make, and as long as both agree then I don't see why not.

I'm not religious so take it with a grain of salt but no I do not think so. From a religious view as long as the couple is committed and stable (and likely married) I don't see anything wrong with it, it is not as if she would be lusting over someone else. It is a logical solution to fertility problems. From my own point of view being unreligious there is nothing wrong with it morally either - again as long as you're in a committed relationship and ready to handle the responsibility of parenthood. |

Well, as there is no sin, then no its not, she can do whatever the hell she wants. She just has to understand that shes going to have to make some very tough explanations to the kid later in life. |

I was wondering about this after a little mishap in my Science class...xD Religion + Science in a Public High School don't mix...lol Anyway, i would think that it is. I don't know very much about religion, but i'm sure that some believe God intended for people to become pregnant from sex. (After all, he gave us the ability to do so, right?) And if your married, your not technically having sex with another man other than your husband, but doesn't that strike you as odd? Considering you cannot have sex with another man, but you can bear his child? Also, most women that are attracted to the opposite gender would do something like this, right? So, wouldn't that be wrong as it is helping people go against what God intended? So...yea...i think it would be a sin, but i'm not religious..and i don't believe in God, so i might be wrong... tis only an opinion...lol |

No not at all. Why would it be? I think most people tend to believe that if it's not having sex with the opposite sex, then it's a sin. But that's wrong. If a girl/women, doesn't want sex, but wants to have a baby, then there's nothing wrong with that, and it shouldn't be a sin. Sure it may seem wrong to most, but the others who agree with it, see things way differently. I tend to think that god created free will, to do these things, without necessary, disregarding what he created men and women for. Sure men and women were meant to have sex, but what if one refuses. Gays, and lesbians, are people to, and they SHOULD NOT, be treated any differently, just because you don't agree with what they believe in. |

As my answer in a previous topic, it depends. For example, if a women would be married to a man who was sterile, I think that would alright and totally understandable. But if she is single and just wants a kid, ehh, I'm not bible expert so I don't really want to say. |

No. I can't think of a single reason why it would be. |

Although I am religious, I will sometimes disagree with views on certain things. Although the Bible doesn't speak directly about artificial insemination, nor does it speak the words of euthanasia or abortion directly, in which both are considered wrong, I feel different passages and scriptures would give you clues to how religions feel about artificial insemination. I personally don't see anything wrong with it, but I understand somewhat of the views that are portrayed.
However, on the other hand..
Going by what the second excerpt says, Christians believe it is fine as long as the couple is married, and the reasons for doing it are good (ie. either of the adults can't have children). Going by the first, Catholics seem to think it is "un-holy" because there is a "third person" but I strongly disagree with this. That concept seems a bit far fetched to me, at least. |

I think that anyone who bases their opinion on this subject should try thinking for yourself instead of letting a book dictate their opinion. I wouldn't consider the Bible to be very ethical at all, and it wouldn't have a stance on AI because AI wasn't invented. Americans are always going on about freedom of speech, what about freedom of thought? |

Oh yes.. I agree. However, the discussion is about artificial insemination and how it applies to religion, so therefore I decided to show the religion aspect. ![]() I agree, however. As I stated, I don't always agree with the Bible. Does that make me a bad person? I'm not sure. I'm sure anyone who is Christian could find at least one small thing they don't agree with. That's part of the faith. If someone wants to have an artificial insemination, let them be. That's my theory.
