“The terrorist stopped me from being a parent, but I do not want him to stop me from being a grandparent.”

So you...harvested your dead son's sperm (I don't even wanna know how) just because YOU want grandkids? That's selfish (and creepy) on a level most people couldn't imagine...

Frankly, I'm glad they're blocking him. Fucking wierdo

How creepy! What the hell is wrong with people.

To me, this seems like a social issue. I acknowledge there is probably still strong tradition in some cultures to have heirs, but to me this takes it a little too far.

Somebody in the comments section in this link said that the child wouldn't have a father or a mother, just aging grandparents to raise the child. The grandparents use the reasoning that when their son was alive that "he wanted to be a father." I say, yes. When he was alive, perhaps. But not when he is dead.

This screams "grandparent entitlement." This child won't know either biological parent. To think, if something happens to the grandparents (illness etc) then that child will be rendered an orphan. Just another mouth to feed in this world.

I am glad, reading the comments, that I am not alone in finding such attempts at having children at all costs weird and also distastesful.

This comes form a man in his mid 40s with a 6 year old son. My wife is 36. Had we waited a while longer - there would probably have been difficulties in conceiving.

But people need to understand that we do not have the right to have children. I may come across as insensitive, but in my country the state is now paying for all fertility treatments including in vitro fertilisation. Couples go through a lot when they sign up for in vitro attempts at conceiving. The costs (born by other tax payers) are also prohibitive.

There are thousands if not millions of little children without parents. Had my wife and I had problems conceiving we would have gone for adoption, and though we have not discussed it, I see nothing wrong in adopting our next child.
