The other argument was funny though.
In this regard Ace is correct. In vitro still requires the two parties. While your argument contends we can disassociate the reproductive act from the sexual act such an argument is not very cogent.
The maximum manifestation of that argument would be to say you are willing to risk all of humanity on something as trivial as a power outage. In the end you will always come back to copulation for procreation as a default, which serves as exhibit to the nature of copulation for procreation. When all else fails; when the power goes out; when the pipette is broken we can always just get down to the yum yum bouncy bouncy!!
