Several authors point out how frequent and dangerous the emotional complications are that sometimes come across in the plain psychiatric pathology of artificial insemination by donors (AID)1–12. This risk can be easily understood if one considers the deep emotional and psychological roots that the act of procreating has for women as well as for men. Procreating through the semen of a third person, the donor, can have deep emotional consequences, which not all subjects are able to evaluate, and above all after AID they are not able to accept and integrate the emotional consequences in their emotional life as individuals and as couples.
