The answer

Semen itself is not considered 'awrah (private parts) that a woman is forbidden from seeing. Therefore, there is no objection to a wife working in the field of artificial insemination, provided it is free from unlawful prohibitions such as blameworthy mixing (of genders) and private seclusion with non-mahram men, while also observing the Sharia-compliant regulations regarding permissible and forbidden forms of artificial insemination.
