Ga. Soldier's Widow Wants His Sperm

“Hopefully, the peace will last and everybody will be happy in the end”

A soldier's widow has succeeded in having sperm taken from his body and frozen four days after he was slain in Iraq, though medical experts said it's highly unlikely she would be able to bear his child. via Fort Wayne Journal Gazette

Did the soldier sigen anything agreeing to his sperm being taken after his death? What if this were a woman who died, would anyone think it would be ok to remove egss from her body or, would they consider it immoral/illegal?

She should also get his penis and testicles to mummify and hang on the wall. They would serve as a constant reminder of this hero's ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms. They could be decorated with all his bright, shiny medals and a picture of him holding a big gun.

This is NUTS..pardon the pun. He's been dead for four days before the extraction. If she really wants some sperm, im sure she can find a reasonable donor..especally with the sympathy trip she'll be on.

It is a touching story about one of our brave and heroic US troops named Darren who desired to have a child from his wife but he tragically died in the war in Iraq before fulfilling his dream.
Clearly, based on his wife’s and her mother’s sworn statement he wanted a child and as married couple his wife clearly have the right to make efforts to make it happen with his sperm that was taken after his death.
His wife’s mother was right to say that "We're trying to honor my daughter and Darren's wishes, and that “All of his comrades and anyone who knew them knew he wanted children."
It is a great way to fulfill the desire of Darren to have children that will keep Darren's memory as brave US soldier that sacrificed his life for his country and was killed by radical Islamic Iranian evil regime's Islamic terrorists in the war against the Islamic barbaric and brutal terrorism in the world.

Hi Jones,

That wasn't the way I read it. He was blown up by Iraqi patriots defending their country from being destroyed and their families murdered by illegal occupiers i.e. this dead grunt and his vile buddies.
They are the ones imposing "brutal terrorism" on countries never causing the U.S. any harm.
Stick to the Sunday funnies. Leave the difficult stuff for folks with brains.

The wife's faithfulness to her husband's wishes and her own wish to bear his child matter more than whether she is able to conceive or not. I suppose some would worry about the child growing up without a father but these are unusual circumstances.

Guys like that "dead grunt and his vile buddies" helped the England "murder" the "illegal occupiers" (a.k.a. "Germans") during WWII when you were about to be over run. You should be thankful that we imposed our "brutal terrorism" on countries never causing the U.S. any harm.

Leave the American issues to America. Go back and read the funny pages like you suggested...

It is her husband and legally the body belongs to her. If she wants the sperm she should have every right to it. Four days seems like a long time but if the sperm did some how remain healthy she should be able to bear his child.

You are wrong. US and the civilized world will keep fighting the barbarian Islamic terrorist suicide bombers that are financed by the evil radical Islamic regimes of Iran and Saudi Arabia among others until the last Islamic terrorist will go to Islamic paradise with 72 girls waiting for him in the impotents' department.
Evidently, the civilized world is under brutal attack of the madness of Radical Islam terrorists that were promised sexual reward for killing innocent people by the Islamic Prophet terrorist Mohammad that killed 850 Jews and many other infidels in cold blood only because they did not want to convert to Islam...

I don't mind anyone having a kid, I just don't think the American taxpayer should have to pay for it through Social Security survivors benefits. But if we do have to pay for it, I want a paternity DNA test to find out who is "the baby daddy?"

If it gives the woman some comfort during this horrific time . . . then it is good. HOWEVER, after FOUR days, it's unlikely any of his fishies are still swimming.

Since the husband died fighting in our military for a useless cause I have no problem with them paying for it with social security money. The military should shoulder the burden. I do see your point though. Too many babies born using our tax money. Then we end up supporting them the rest of their lives.

'SICK...SICK...SICK!' They said,’ till death do us part.' Let the guy rest and be remembered for his service to his country. Not remembered because his grieving possessive widow wouldn't let go and had his privates hacked up.

Here's another left wing, radical, liberal, who like to spew forth his vile remarks about this country, when the jerk is in the UK. Your comments and remarks are your own opinions and do not count much here in Americia, so butt out!!

I wouldn't have a problem paying for the kid if he had fathered it or had sperm frozen before he was killed in action. But a dead man's sperm procreating - it goes against the grain and is almost Frankenstien-ish in its inception - IT'S ALIVE!.......IT'S ALIVE!

Little UK Piddler You are the lkind of person that likes to start little verbal fights because you get a thrill out of it. We as Americans have a history of ignoring what you Brits have to say. I hope you enjoyed insulting are fallen troops because one day you might have the balls to insult a real live "Grunt" and enjoy the beating your given thank good you get free health care.
As to the issue of this women who wants to have this mans baby. Im sorry for her loss but this is a preverse misuse of science in my eyes. But she should have the right to try. People die thats it honer his memory but move on with life. I am a little two sided on this issue because I feel its her right to try but also very wrong in ways.
