    Aus. court awards woman testicles

    From Drudge;

    Woman wins permission to remove her dead partner's testicles in the hope of using his sperm to get pregnant


    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...testicles.html

    A woman has won a legal battle to remove her late partner's testicles from his dead body in the hope of using his sperm to have a child.
    The Toowoomba woman was granted permission to remove his testicles in the Queensland Supreme Court.
    The woman lodged an urgent application to perform the procedure the day after her fiance died unexpectedly in April, the ABC reported.

    Several of the couple's friends presented evidence in court supporting their desire to have a child together.

    The two met in September last year, became engaged a month later and were planning to get married in late 2016.
    At the time of her fiance's death the pair were already trying for a child.

    Justice Martin Burns granted the request to remove the testicles but said another application must be made before the sperm was used.
    He said this would give the woman the chance to think about whether she really wanted to go through with her pregnancy.
    In the meantime, the man's testicles will be stored at an IVF facility.
    IVF is a process by which a woman's eggs are fertilised by sperm in a laboratory setting which mimics pregnancy.
    Lawyers representing the deceased man did not oppose the application.

    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    Oh mannn, I wanted my husbands vas tubes when he has his vasectomy but they wouldn't give them to me. I should've sued. Ballsy move on her part.

    I wonder if that sperm's any good after hanging around in dead body.

    Never had dead sperm but live ones kinda remind me of eating raw oysters - taste, texture.

    A little hot sauce and cracker and I'd be set.

    FWIW, it's my vague recollection that not all cells die, at the time of death, hair, fingernails, etc..

    I think it was the Robin Williams movie, "The World According to Garp" where he finds out his father was some guy in a coma who his mother was raping in the hospital at night?
