i would love a grandchild..but a child does not replace another child...as the mother of an only child..i hear this all the time..."what if he dies?" i just look at them with them one kid and spares and ask which one of them they would not miss? which kid would you give up?
i dont know what i would do in that kind of grief....i dont see how parents who have a dead child put one foot in front of the other...much less get thru the day....
right now...my son is climbing...or more likely assuring the safety of other climbers....he calls me when he leaves the rock...regardless of the time or place...sure his pals make fun of him.....big country has to call mama and tell her....her baby is okay....but he does it...what the fuck am i ranting about?
Sounds rather odd, but I can think of no ethical concerns.
How will they harvest the sperm?
Do you think they will just take the testicles and mash them like potatoes?
As a parent, I can think of a few. For one thing, this isn't the best reason to have a child: as a replacement for one you lost. For another thing, we already know how many issues adopted kids have (abandonment issues, for one). And I'm saying this AS an adopted kid. What kind of issues will THIS kid have, knowing he was harvested from a dead body and grown in a woman who has no emotional connection to him?
Creepy. Just imagine what the other kids at school will say.
Let me just put it like this: We already have enough "throw away" kids in our society. People spending thousands of dollars to create a designer child is just repulsive to me. I don't support extreme measures to help people create a biological child. It simply makes it more likely that, as a society, we will further require these measures as we pass along genes of people who have difficulty breeding. There is a reason that biology steps in, at times, and sometimes, it is to weed out genetically undesirable traits. The more we medically intervene where we probably shouldn't, the greater the propensity for those biological traits to pose more problems in the future for us as a species.

Don't you pretend to be a doctor on the internet?
Dude, you're slipping.
I don't know if this is substantive enough to function as an objection, at least in the context of establishing a "rule" against such procedures, rather than against the act of an individual engaging or authorizing such a procedure. Then again, maybe you don't either.
This isn't an objection exclusive to this specific case. It is relatively sound whilst analyzing similar cases of "artificial" creation and such, specifically forms that require significant financial expenditures, since the resources used to create one being could easily improve the lives of numerous others, effectively creating a diminishing rate of marginal utility when contributed to the creation of the one.

I am a doctor. But its been a while since I harvested sperm from a dead guy, so I forgot.

Hopefully I never need medical attention from you for something you've forgotten. It sounds a bit risky to me.
But then, my own doctor doesn't care for me challenging her opinions either.
I dunno, Kitty...one of the strongest urges in humans is to produce offspring. If this is her only child that died she's almost genetically wired to want to produce another to carry on her genes.Sounds rather odd, but I can think of no ethical concerns.

alittle wierd! But it is probably hard for her, your children are not suppose to die before you. If my son died I might do some crazy things, I don't think this but everyone handles things differently.Mother wants to harvest dead son's sperm, so she can hire a surrogate and raise a grandson.
Thoughts?
