| | Fathering a child after you are dead In August 2002, 19-year-old Sergeant Kevin Cohen was guarding an Israeli settlement in the Gaza Strip. At 7 a.m. he was shot dead by a Palestinian sniper. It was that bullet that killed Kevin and his dream, which he had related to his mother, Rachel Cohen, of one day fathering a child. But this week, four years after his death, a dramatic ruling by an Israeli court means Kevin Cohen’s dream may very well come true. Kevin's mom won the court fight to have ownership of her son's frozen sperms. She then advertized for a woman to agree to be impregnated by it. Mrs. Cohen is now waiting for the good news that maybe nine months from now she will become a grandmother. At last she will be able to look at her son’s picture and tell him he has a child. Some readers' comments: * This woman doesn't need a grandchild, she needs a grief counselor. * How absolutely creepy.
* I THINK THIS IS WONDERFUL AND SO SAD THAT THE MOTHER OF A SON SHE WISHED TO HONOR, HAD TO GO THROUGH SO MUCH. THIS IS A PLACE WHERE THE COURTS SHOULDN'T BE INVOLVED,THEY HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN FIGHT OVER SPERM. THEN AGAIN MAYBE THIS IS A RELIGIOUS THING, I DON'T KNOW. THANK GOD NOW A SON, A MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER WILL FINALLY COME TO BE. What do you think? |
