[The practice of heterologous insemination in the treatment of androgenic sterility].

Except of adoption the heterologous insemination has for some years in the GDR been a part of the therapeutic possibilities of a couple's androgen sterility. However, there is no uniform conception on practical proceeding, juridical problems, selection of sperm donors and documentation of data. This paper describes the practical proceeding at the women's hospital of Berlin's Humboldt University (Charité). It contains, among other things, an indication list, regulations for medical examination, instruction and juridical securing of both the donor and the married couple. Documentation of data under special regard of professional discretion is also dealt with.
