Talk:Vault 69/Meeting/Breeding

Actually, there is a far more effective objection to artificial insemination that what's discussed here. Artificial insemination involves surgically removing the eggs, which causes a lot of damage to the ovaries and, even in the best of cases, diminishes the function of that ovary in the future. In less good gases, that ovary will be permanently out of commission.

On the flip side, a single harvesting of eggs is good for several viable embryos, but the implantation success rate of the embryos using this method is very low. The common practice is to implant 10 or more embryos at the same time, and if the woman is lucky then 1 will make it. (although, there are some cases where more make it. The case of the "octo mom" is one of those cases where 8 of the embryos successfully implanted at the same time.)

There are just a very large number of health complications that can happen with artificial insemination, and it is a method that is highly discouraged by doctors and only used as a last resort in cases where the parents' fertility rate is rather poor for one reason or another and nothing else has worked. Anyone in the healthcare field would be VERY against artificial insemination as an option if there was no actual medically related issue preventing the natural way.
