Abstract
A 34-year-old paraplegic man with a spinal cord injury complete below the 6th thoracic segment fathered a child by artificial insemination using semen obtained by electro-ejaculation. A long fertility programme culminated in the delivery of a healthy male child weighing 3665 g in April 1987. Guidelines for a comprehensive fertility programme are discussed briefly.Keywords
