Reports Jezebel:
Last fall, 27-year-old Ohad Ben-Yaakov was injured in an accident at his part-time job, and he died after two weeks in a coma. Ben-Yaakov wasn’t married, nor was he in a relationship. No woman was pregnant with his child. Nevertheless, his devastated parents believe it’s not too late for them to become the grandparents of his offspring. And because they live in Israel, the world capital of in-vitro fertilization and a country that regularly pushes the envelope on reproductive technologies, they might get their wish. When Mali and Dudi Ben-Yaakov learned their son was brain dead, they had his sperm extracted. Now they’re awaiting the decision of Israel’s attorney general on whether they’ll be permitted to find a woman to bear their grandchild.
What do you think should the parents be allowed to do this? This would be a game changer!

Good for them
Absolutely not! That’s not even fair to the potential child to come into the world fatherless. Sure it happens but why plan this? They need to face letting go and remembering their son.
I don’t see the harm in it.
Damn… these Jews.
i dint see the harm in it at all.. if you get a mother thats willing to agree, then i say go for it!
