What’s weird about it? This is a technological miracle that was unavailable to soldiers in past wars. .....

It is a miricle. In the past that would have been the end of his line. She is quite a woman to do this and I pray she is greatly blessed. His name will be remembered and she has the child that she wanted.

It is a great triumph and absolutely no credit to the liberals.

Imagine how many “good” genes were lost to wars while the “bad” genes were allowed to proliferate. Think about it. Brave men who will actually fight for freedom and protection of the homeland get reduced in numbers, while the ones who won’t get to stay at home and spread their DNA around the populace. It’s Darwinian.........

It is not a miracle. It's an abomination.

I find this a circumstance of questionable ethics and motives bordering on necrophilia or a worship of the dead. It's horrible her husband died but it's just as horrible to go against God and Nature and create a child which could not exist and who will have no father with full knowledge of this key point before conception!

I'm horrified at how many see this as some kind of selfless, loving tribute and don't think of the fatherless child she's brought into the world.

She got the child she wanted, I only pray she remembers the child's welfare along the way.

When you go down the path of what human science can enable you need to challenge yourself on the morality and ethics involved and wonder if you should take that path. There are few places more tempting than the frontiers of fertility science which have brought us such barbarism as vanity children for single mothers, RU-486 and even the callously termed "selective reduction," en-mass abortions when too many implanted embryos appear viable.

Thinking of the unconceived fatherless child, the "right" answer would have been to thaw the sperm and accept the reality of her husband's death and their inability to produce a child within their marriage epoch just like generations of widows before her. If she still wanted a child she could seek a new mate or consider a foster care or adoption situation.
