Does a lady remain a virgin if she receives artificial insemination? What about In Vitro Fertilization so no sperm enter her body?

Is it sexual immorality if an unmarried woman uses either of the above two methods to have a child?

And has any human ever done one of the above while still a virgin? (I'm pretty sure cows have virgin birth all the time with a prize winning bull they've never seen as the father, and farmers care to confirm?)

That link is crazy sauce man.

@ Chris: Did you know some cultures don't even have a word in their language for 'virgin'? They see no real difference between a person who has had sex and a person who hasn't. I'm with them on this one.

What?! But how do they talk about olive oil?! :p

Depends on how you define virgin. If the term means a woman who's never had sexual intercourse with a man, then it's certainly possible for a virgin to get pregnant, and later give birth, through assisted reproductive techniques.

No.

I'm sure it's been done. Many times.

Yes, that really did happen, I knew the alien who attempted to impregnate the woman. This information was revealed to me via tin foil during a one of my more interesting art therapy sessions.

We're they the Mongomers? :D

Not sure how to define virgin.

If it means to never had sexual intercourse with a man, I am certain that many women have had virgin pregnancies. If it means to have never had any sexual organ stimulation ever, that would be much rarer.
