California Parents of West Point Cadet Killed in Skiing Accident Retrieve His Sperm
KTLA ^ | 03/04/2019

Posted on 03/05/2019 7:46:41 AM PST by BenLurkin

The parents asked a state court judge Friday for permission to retrieve his sperm before his organs were removed for donation later that day at Westchester Medical Center. They argued the procedure needed to be done that day.

“We are desperate to have a small piece of Peter that might live on and continue to spread the joy and happiness that Peter bought to all of our lives,” read the parent’s filing in state court in Westchester County.

The first documented post-mortem sperm removal was reported in 1980 and the first baby conceived using the procedure was born in 1999, according to medical journals. Usually, the request comes from a surviving spouse.

The parents told the court that Peter is the only male child of the Zhu family and that if they don’t obtain the genetic material, “it will be impossible to carry on our family’s lineage, and our family name will die.”

China will let the Zhu’s do this, if a U.S. court won’t. Super creepy.

Condemning some future children to be without a father? Sick. Your son is dead. You stick a needle into his genital area. You need to be put away in a quiet place for life, where you can’t hurt anybody.

In China, sons rule and daughters drool (apparently)

And mom will undergo AI to carry her renewed son to birth.

As Rush would say, “Don’t doubt me on this one, folks”

What a loss of a son, soldier and a brilliant future doctor. He was buried at west point. Totally support the parents. Peter was an organ donor since 2014. Why not share a small piece of him with his parents. Widows do this.

They want to be grandparents. They’ll be there for the kid or 2. Can’t blame them.

Finally a poster with common sense and compassion.the others who are so judgemental. You become a quality person because of your parents. Those of you so anti abortion, these people want to create life not kill.

If the parents can find a willing lady, I think it is ok.

Ever hear of a surrogate???? Any child would be lucky to have these people in their lives. Little Ethan who was murdered in Wisconsin could have used people like these in their lives.once they get an egg donor, a sister could be a surrogate.

My thought, too. But they'll need to find said lady. Remember the Chinese Mom who was trolling her son's picture around a college library looking for dates for him?

If he’d had a wife, then it’d be ok. It’s creepy for the parents to do this.
