Tiny Human Life    page - 331 - S.    THE HOLY BIBLE ON THE METHODS OF HUMAN REPRODUCTION "The  Lord  God...made  a  woman,  and  brought  her  to  the  man.....Adam  said:  'This  is  finally bone-of-my-bone and flesh-of-my-flesh! She shall be called wom[b]-man - for she was taken out of man.' Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife so that the two of them shall become one flesh. Now both the man and his wife were naked but  not  ashamed....  So  Adam  started  to  have  sexual  relations  with  his  wife  Eve.  Then  she conceived, and afterwards she gave birth." - Genesis 2:22f & 4:1. 2185.   Sacred  Scripture  authorizes  human  reproduction  by  way  of  sexual  intercourse.  As  we approach  this  chapter,  we  first  need  to  offer  brief  definitions  of  questionable  procedures (either practised at the present or planned for the future) - toward trying to produce  human children. We mean several highly-questionable procedures for human reproduction - such as cloning, AID, AIH, SHW, IVF, and NWH. Various non-coital techniques of human reproduction 2186.   By cloning animals or humans is meant the non-sexual duplication, from genetical material derived from the living source, of ectypes of the entire creature - very similar to the original. This is somewhat akin to asexual or vegetative reproduction in certain plants. 2187.   By AID (or Artificial Insemination from Donor), we mean the deliberate but non-coital human insemination of a married woman with semen taken from a man or men other than her own husband. Better to preserve the anonymity of the donor(s) and also to enhance the woman's impregnatability,  this  is  sometimes  done  with  a  'semen  cocktail'  mixed  from  the  sperms  of several different men. 2188.   By AIH (or Artificial Insemination from Husband), we mean the deliberate but non-coital human insemination of a married woman with semen derived exclusively from her own husband. That semen  and  its  sperm  may,  however,  be  treated  chemically  and  boosted  artificially  with inorganic   material   before   introduction   into   the   woman   -   in   order   to   enhance   her impregnatability. 2189.   By SHW (or Surrogate Human Womb), we mean the utilization - whether by way of natural sexual intercourse, or by way of artificial insemination, or by way of embryo transplant - of a woman's fallopian tube(s) and/or womb to conceive and/or to bear a child or children not for herself but for somebody else. That somebody else may be a man not her own husband; or a woman other than the bearer herself. 2190.   By  IVF (or  In  Vitro  Fertilization),  in  the  case  of  human  beings,  we  mean  the  deliberate  but artificial and non-coital human fertilization outside the female body of a human egg-cell by a human sperm-cell in a petri dish or in a test-tube (alias in vitro). Here, the petri dish in effect functions as an AFT (or an Artificial Fallopian Tube) external to the woman's own body. 2191.   By NWH (or Nonhuman Womb for Humans), we mean the deliberate and non-coital human utilization of the  wombs  of animals or  of a man-made  synthetic 'womb'  to facilitate  nidation and/or embryonization of human zygotes (in artificial SHWs). Several prominent women have expressed the desire thus to beget their own children - without the latter even for a second ever having lived inside of those women throughout the entire period of gestation. 2192.   AIA  (or  Artificial  Insemination  of  Animals),  like  AIP  (or  Artificial  Insemination  of  Plants), involves  the  human  introduction  of  non-human  male  seed  into  the  female  sexual  parts  of nonhuman  creatures  to  induce  fructification  artificially.  If  done  by  using  male  and  female materials  from  the  same  basic  genus,  it  seems  this  technique  does  not  meet  with  the
