“Something can be born out of everything – if you want it to,” said Iris Haim, whose hostage son Yotam was killed in Gaza. Those words are helping her find hope, as she seeks to use his sperm to have a grandchild.
Not to give her advice but I think she’d have an easier time if she said she wanted an egg donor (so no inbreeding) but would carry the pregnancy herself. And obviously not wanting to raise the grandkid is insane.
The IDF conscripts women too, so maybe she could find a cadaver whose ovaries are still viable. Why should reproductive necromancy only benefit the patriarchy?
Yeah I wonder if you can harvest viable eggs from a corpse. I’ve been through egg retrieval myself and it’s a pretty involved process; you have to inject yourself with hormones to stimulate follicle growth and align things with your cycle. Compared to getting sperm which afaik just involves jacking off into a cup.
