In Humans
Artificial insemination is a means for a woman to conceive when she does not have a male partner, when she does not want a male partner, or when a male partner's sexual inhibition or physical limitation impedes his ability to impregnate her by sexual intercourse. Women who have issues with the cervix such as cervical scarring, cervical blockage from endometriosis, or thick cervical mucus also benefit from AI since the sperm must pass through the cervix to result in fertilization.
