Now here is something I never knew could happen.

This is something to debate. I am shocked at some laws we have.

Seeing that the couple was not married, I would think that his parents should have to give permission for this procedure. I don't blame them for being angry and upset.

They were engaged according to that report, so that gives her some legal ground.

But there have been cases where sperm has actually been removed from

deceased men.  If that can be done, why were the testes removed I wonder?

I personally. don't believe that a man should father a child after death.

Who is to say that is what he wanted - for his child to be fatherless?

I find this very disturbing.

First of all, most young women that have lost a partner will eventually find another relationship and most likely have a child with the new partner.

Secondly, the Grandparents will most likely never see those grandchildren unless the woman stays in close contact with the parents of the man.

I can not imagine my heartbreak, knowing there is a grandchild somewhere in this world and I can not be part of their life. A part of my lost son that I would dearly cherish.

The world has gone crazy.
