Artificial insemination is a cell fusion from outside the body. It requires fertilization but not mating and is when sperm is collected from the male and inserted into the female’s vagina for fertilization to occur. This procedure of Insemination increases the chance that the sperm will fertilize an egg. It is advantageous in situations where it is costly or difficult to bring the male or female together of if natural conception cannot happen. For example, sperm can be collected from a good, healthy bull in England and be transported to Australia and can be used to impregnate a chosen cow

However, this results in a reduction of biodiversity. On the contrary id artificial insemination is used for humans, it can result in couples who struggle to pass on genes to do so. This may halter the process of natural selection and increase biodiversity. It changes the genetic composition by having the choice of what characteristics’. E.g. few selected genes become common in the heard and other alleles are lost. This could be significant as a resistant for a disease can potentially be …show more content…
The concerns risen focus on two issues; the first being that transferring the genes is not done in an ecological environment and the second being that genetic engineering can alter the rate of genetic change. If a genetically engineered organism is released into the environment it is more susceptible of contracting a new diseases or encourage the development of resistance to drugs. Which then raises the question “Is it right to be tampering with living organisms for commercial gain?” “Should we be changing nature around this way?” We do not have the right to be interfering directly with the genetic make-up of animals. Some people view it as mankind trying to play God or potentially change the course of evolution. This kind of technology does not promote equality as not everyone has access to
