Being the parents of ... grandchildren thanks to dead semen sperm

Taking sperm from a son's corpse and buying eggs from an unnamed girl, the wealthy couple who became the legal parents of "design boys" is actually their grandchild.

The journey to find a grandson from the rest of his son's death from a motorbike accident is causing mixed opinion from experts and people.

According to Dr. David B. Smotrich, who performed the procedure for the couple at La Jolla IVF clinic (California-USA), the elderly couple went to the US because many things in the couple's request could not be British law approved.

Their son died 4 years ago, when he was 26 years old, unmarried. He had a motorcycle accident and found the body two days later. However, since sperm can live up to 72 hours in the dead body, sperm extraction is still possible.

The couple bought eggs from an anonymous girl and asked the doctor to create an inherited grandson. Although creating a child from the dead is extremely difficult, they are extremely lucky and the child is now 3 years old, as healthy as other children.

Estimate the amount of couples spent to have a good grandson, including the cost of buying eggs, legal and travel up to $ 129,000. Both returned to England only after being recognized as the legitimate parents of the child, but genetically their grandchildren.

Dr Smotrich said the creation of a baby from the dead sperm has a low success rate and he only helped 5 similar cases.

Although the story is a medical miracle, it is quite controversial, especially the way grandparents tried to create a "design child" by sex intervention when in vitro fertilization. In addition, speaking on the Daily Mail, Professor Allan Pacey, a former president of the British Reproduction Association, said the son did not sign a document agreeing to let others use his sperm after he died. What happened can be a criminal act.

Readers' comments are divided into two dimensions: some congratulate the couple who are suffering because of losing their only son to be compensated by his grandson; some responded to the concept of having an inherited nephew and taking action on the sex of the fetus.
