How wrong I was. I didn’t think anybody could top American fundies’ obscene fetish interest in preborn life. But Israel has a fetish interest in sperm.

Idk, man. It is crazy in the same way that the death of any loved one drives you crazy. If my wife died suddenly in a car accident and we’d been trying to have kids for years, then a doctor comes to me and says “We can harvest your wife’s eggs and find a surrogate, and then you can have a child to remember her by” literally days after her death, would I say “Yes”? Fuckin’ maybe.

If this was a single mourning widow who got suckered in on the Free Real Estate gambit and lost her husband over it, I’d genuinely feel pity. Instead we’ve got some sicko freak social media rep, trying to turn a personal tragedy and desperate cope into Blood Libel.

I think this is an understandable position to hold for someone grieving a loved one / father of their children and also it’s absolutely not an understandable position to hold for the state of israel, or any state

Right? I get the woman wanting to do it. I don’t get the state xitter account announcing that they tried to do it as a call to arms. That part is fucking weird

Thing is she already had a kid with this guy, so even if she was dedicated to having a biological child with him, that goal was already achieved!

There’s no fucking way this is real right?

This is saying her husband died and she or whoever tried to extract his semen from his now-dead body?

I mean, fucking hell man.

Even if she just had his sperm in a freezer, maybe I’m weird or an asshole, but isn’t it weird and irresponsible to create a child with a dead man? The kid will never have a father. Potentially an adopted one, but what guy is going to be like “sure, honey. Turkey baster your dead other husband’s sperm right up in there. I will help raise his child.”

I hope I’m missing critical information here. Honestly I hope so

So I can’t remember the proper terminology but I looked into it last time a story like this showed up and long story short: corpse wanking is a real job.

there is nothing morally wrong with being a single mother

(ignore everything here if this was a joke, which I took it as, but just to be sure)

Of course there isn’t.

But purposely bringing a child into the world without proper parental support (not an accidental pregnancy - purposeful impregnation. Also not opting out of an abortion. I am solely speaking about artificial insemination here) would be immoral as it sets the child up for… Everything bad, basically, according to the tomes of stats we have. The main issue being only one parental income.

But that also isn’t the scenario I laid out. Specifically, it would be weird as hell to purposely impregnate yourself (in my opinion) with a dead person’s, spouse or otherwise, sperm. There’s so many issues there, but the easiest one for me, and why I pointed at it, is the decision to purposely bring a person into the world who was known, before the zygote even formed, to always have this ghost of a biological father hovering over their lives. The presumed adopting father (or mother, etc.) could absolutely fill the needs for love and material needs, but, there’s still a major moral issue there. Again, imo.

Best way I can explain it is something like “we don’t condemn people for suboptimal situations being forced upon them (the single mother or the child of a single mother), but we (individuals with agency) shouldn’t create suboptimal situations for others (the hypothetical child in this case).”

It’s mostly the fact that another life (the child) is directly affected here and it would be done on purpose. This is different (just to cut off arguments) than abortion where the fetus is not a “life” until birth, so the only person affected by abortion is the pregnant person who makes the decision themselves.

I have now officially and totally thought about this too much.

There absolutely is if your first thought of your dead husband is “I need his sperm to make a child.” At that point you’re not mentally capable of raising a good child. Go to a sperm bank or adopt a child like a normal person
