      If the recipient asked for it and the donor is giving it out of free will with the explicit intention then yes it is a medical treatment.

        Ah yes so when I give my dog antibiotics for an infection against his will it’s definitely not medical treatment

          Making an animal pregnant isn’t solving a medical issue. How do you not see the difference?

          Personally I view it the same as giving medicine to a baby. They don’t understand, sometimes you have to make decisions in their best interests.

          Key point: in their best interests, not for personal gain.

        With humans yes, but in the case of non-human animals these decisions are up to the owner.
