A gynaecologist "treats" the patient, benefitting the patient.

Forcibly impregnating someone is also called rape.

Artificial insemination is a treatment.

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.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 19 points 3 days ago (7 children)

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

[–] M137@lemmy.world 69 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 33 points 3 days ago

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.

Not a vegan but if you think what happens to cows is a medical "treatment" then you are a dumbass

[–] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Exactly, this is basically finding excuses to justify these actions. A treatment treats a condition, yet what does this treat - an ego of an person apparently.

[–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 days ago (19 children)

it is not a needed treatment for the health and well being of the cow, it is a unecessary treatment forced upon the animal

Artificial insemination without consent is rape. Natural insemination without consent is rape.

Cows cannot give consent to humans. No animal can. Hell, even if we discovered another human-like species but couldn't have meaningful communication with them, it'd still be rape.

It's not rape if it's your dog
