In biology, procreation is the act by which organisms reproduce. A more detailed treatment of reproduction in general, or sexual reproduction in particular, are in those articles. In some systems of ethics, sexual intercourse with procreative intent is often treated differently from intercourse absent procreative intent (in other words, intercourse in which birth control is practiced). The Catholic Church, for instance, proscribes intercourse without procreative intent in which artificial birth control is employed (see Humanae ...
