The parents of a 21-year-old West Point cadet fatally injured in a skiing accident can use his frozen sperm to produce a child, a judge ruled while noting potential ethical considerations.
Zhu, of Concord, California, died after a ski accident in February at West Point. His parents received court permission to have his sperm retrieved and frozen at the same time he underwent organ donation surgery, but the judge waited until last week to rule on whether they could attempt reproduction. The sperm is preserved at a sperm bank.
Zhu left no written intention regarding the use of his genetic material for procreation after his death, Colangelo said. But he said Zhu's parents testified regarding conversations where he talked of his dream of having several children and the responsibility he felt to carry on his cultural and family legacy. Zhu's military advisor at West Point also testified that Zhu had stated a goal of having several children during mentoring sessions.
That just seems wrong on so very many levels.
Did this clown even have a gf? Let alone a fiance.. 'Our dead son wanted to carry on our legacy'. By himself?
Umm, no.
Family arranged marriage taken to a whole new level i guess... Absolutely totally free to do so, but still...
what did I just read?
He apparently expressed a desire to have children & his parents aren’t even sure they will use the sperm. They have asked for privacy going forward & that wish should be respected.
Cool?
Why do I feel like there's more to this story....
Creepy. I wonder if they'll find a female corpse to harvest the eggs from
Oh
Thats more than a little weird

Parents of deceased West Point cadet meant to carry on family name can use his sperm to produce child, judge saysThe judge referred to previous cases where the court's ruling relied on the intent of the deceased individual Who’s going to carry his child? His mom? I’m not fully understanding this? Was he married or have a gf? I'm not Chinese & never lost a child so I can't imagine how they are feeling. But this feels wrong & invasive. Saying you want to have kids at some future point isn't a concrete plan. When I saw the headline I thought he had previously donated for IVF but this is all post-death Judge should be removed
