What do you think about this story? (Zombie sperm)

[ToxicAdam]

I thought it poses some interesting ethical questions.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/parents-dead-west-point-cadet-can-use-his-sperm-judge-n1007811

A judge has cleared the way for the parents of a 21-year-old West Point cadet fatally injured in a skiing accident to use his frozen sperm to produce a child.

Supreme Court Justice John Colangelo says in a decision dated Thursday the parents of Peter Zhu haven't decided whether to attempt conception with a surrogate mother. But he ruled it's their decision to make.

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 , but the judge waited until last week to rule on whether they could attempt reproduction.

Colangelo said he found no restrictions in state or federal law. But he noted other obstacles including reluctance of some doctors to assist for ethical reasons.

Goddamn artificial insemination is the most evil shit ever. Like the world needs more fucking kids. Fucking rich people. I hope their $20,000 test-tube grandkid dies in a skiing accident too and the grandparents live long enough to see it happen.

Don't see an issue tbh.

I'm going to be honest, I only clicked on this because I saw Zombie Sperm and I'm really disappointed rn.

Maybe I read Antigone too many times in high school and college but unless the deceased specified that he wanted this in his will it comes off as grotesque, like burying (or not burying) someone not in accordance with their last wishes.

The story is a bit sparse but as best I can tell it's not like he exactly had a certificate of deposit at the sperm bank. If he did then you could rationalize this on the grounds that he'd already conceded that he wanted kids but wasn't sure of the timeline.

This comes across like the parents wanting their legacy to continue on after their [only?] son's untimely death, rather than something that the son wanted.

What I thought of. 

[Transhuman]

This comes across like the parents wanting their legacy to continue on after their [only?] son's untimely death, rather than something that the son wanted.

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.

Sounds like the kid wanted it too, or they are just lying through their teeth to the court to get their sticky little hands on the son's jizz.

I mean the kids dead, what the hell is he going to do? Refuse to have the kid?

[Transhuman]

Imagine being the nurse who has to jack-off a corpse's frozen boner because some pushy parents feel lonely and want a grandkid

you can suck my dead hog

[Transhuman]

Totally how this works.

Imagine your son dies in a skiing accident and you skip right past the grieving process and start calling lawyers so you can force a nurse to stick a cattleprod up his ass so you can zap his prostate until his dead penis cums

Clearly they love their son very, very much

At first I thought the kid had already frozen his sperm for some reason while alive and I was like "okay I guess the parents can inherit the sperm and do whatever with it but that's a little weird damn" but then I read on and ummm... yeah what Transhuman said about the cattle prod 

I know my parents are disappointed in me for not having kids, should I make a will saying "DON'T RAPE MY DEAD CORPSE" in case I die and they feel like having a baby made from corpse cells would be a really swell way to remember me by

Okay, this thread is getting closer to what I'd imagined.

[Nintex]

Now we finally know what happened

[skullstorm]

I'm pretty sure they don't ejaculate a dead body to remove sperm.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posthumous_sperm_retrieval

Gametes have been extracted through a variety of means, including removal of the epididymis, irrigation or aspiration of the vas deferens, and rectal probe electroejaculation.

I think milking the corpse prostate might be the easiest method    Or maybe it's up to the doctor to decide which is most pleasurable 

[Transhuman]

No need to apologise

Now I feel like a jerk

So did the corpse!
