From Handbook of Instruction:
21.4.3 Artificial Insemination
The Church strongly discourages artificial
insemination using semen from anyone but the
husband. However, this is a personal matter that
ultimately must be left to the judgment of the
husband and wife. Responsibility for the decision
rests solely upon them.
Artificial insemination of single sisters is not
approved. Single sisters who deliberately refuse
to follow the counsel of Church leaders in this
matter are subject to Church discipline.
