55. Life after Death p.376

    A 34-year-old married man who died recently had no children. When he died, his wife was not pregnant, either. But now that he's dead, he has a chance of becoming a father. How's that possible？

    After a man dies, his sperm¹ remains² alive for some time. In this case, the woman asked doctors to remove the sperm from her husband's body and store it in a sperm bank. Now, she can have the baby that she has wanted for a long time. She says it's as if her husband would come back to life again when the child is born. If that is so, wouldn't that make her husband her son？
