Not deserving of discussion here. This is neither the time nor the place.

I think it’s strange to us because it is a new technology.
We are well within our rights as individuals to question the idea of sperm harvesting—an idea so outside the concept of normalcy that a judge had to be involved for it to happen.
Do you hold the same “hands off” policy on honor killings, gentian mutilation, forced marriages, or other aspects of non-western cultures? Or do you criticize those concepts?
The fathering of a child after one’s death without one’s consent is no less morally questionable and absolutely deserving of discussion.

You know what? EVERY culture has different traditions and practices.
Here's the bottom line: A family has lost a son who was committed to serving our nation as an U.S. Army Officer. Who are we, here in this forum to question what the family is doing to grieve and in order to uphold their lineage?
Let's back off of imposing our traditions and criticizing the family on this forum and just wish them the best.
I’m unaware of any culture that performs invasive medical procedures after death to retrieve sperm in an unmarried individual. Anyone have any examples where that is part of the culture?
