First of all, what is artificial fertilization? Artificial fertilization takes place when male sperm comes together with a female ovum through an act other than sexual union. This process moves the focus from the formation of life by using the gift God gave us, to literally “manufacturing” life. ... Human life is to be procreated with God as the intercessor. ... In any form of artificial fertilization, the unitive factor is removed from this equation. ...
There are many different forms of artificial fertilization. The two that are most widely known are artificial insemination and in-vitro fertilization (IVF). ...
There are also two specific forms of artificial fertilization. ...
One of the most popular forms of artificial fertilization is known as artificial insemination. Artificial insemination differs from other types of fertilization because conception actually occurs within the woman’s body. According to Catholic Doctrine, artificial insemination can never be moral because the unitive factor is not present. Many theologians still argue that it is moral for the husband to use a perforated condom during sexual intercourse to obtain sperm for artificial insemination. ...
Another type of artificial fertilization is in-vitro fertilization. ...

Gamete Intrafallopian Tube Transfer (GIFT) is also another form of artificial fertilization.
