Artificial Insemination in the Comfort of Your Own Home

Israeli company Fertiligent has devised a disposable pump to improve the effectiveness of a treatment for infertility for couples unwilling to resort to in-vitro fertilization.
The Fertiligent device mimics the way in which conception occurs naturally - introducing the sperm into the uterus over a period of several hours.
...And for added fun, James Davis and Louise Løcke Foverskov designed Oh! the insimination vibrator, an artificial insemination device that works like a vibrator into which a sperm sample is inserted during the home insemination procedure.
Don't rush to the chemist, it is only a prototype the pair designed last year while they were studying Interaction Design at RCA in London.
