Texas never ceases to amaze....

AUSTIN, Texas - A judge has granted a mother's request to have someone harvest sperm from her dead son's body, so she can have the option of carrying out his wish to have children.

Nikolas Colton Evans, 21, died Sunday at a Brackenridge hospital after being punched and falling outside an Austin bar March 27.

His mother, Marissa Evans, told the Austin American-Statesman newspaper that he wanted to have three sons someday and had even picked out their names: Hunter, Tod and Van.

"I want him to live on. I want to keep a piece of him," she told the newspaper.

eew...

My question is who is going to carry this ball to the end zone?

This is a thread I was probably better served not to click on. That's just gross.

Weird. :shock:

Does this mean we'll have zombie babies on our hands?

If the mother offered enough money, I'm sure someone would be willing to get pregnant.

Dies after being punched?

perfectly reasonable.

Sorry here's the link.

I wonder how Grandma intends to explain things to the prospective grandchild later in life as far as how they came about. I think people don't think things through and do things from emotional response because they can and not because they should. Science allows for a lot of things to be possible but I don't know if you always should take advantage of that just because it can be done.

i just feel kinda sorry for the kids...

that's really creepyO.O

I'm not sure who should go to therapy first, the mother or the judge.

Is grandma also going to be mom:?

Man they are gonna have a rough time in school if that is what happens.

But what about the pro-life argument that children should be raised by the parents?

What's the typical lifetime of a sperm cell? I guess it's the DNA that matters, but wouldn't it be damaged from Sunday since he's... you know... not living?

yeah,this just seems ill advised no matter how you look at it. Even without the incest angle. Imagine being told at some point." you do not have a father because daddy died,but gram wanted him to live so she had his sperm harvested and someone be your surogate mom and thats how you were born. sorry you did not have parents" nah,too icky.mattykovax

Kid would be very confused in health class.

Well thats beyond disturbing.

Dies after being punched?

Its a pretty good idea if you have a girl friend... If his main dream was to have a child don't you think that it's okay if his mom tries to get that for her baby? I don't see how this is disgusting to you guys unless she's planning to get her self pregnant. This sounds like a good idea for the profession I plan on getting into because if I die and haven't had children yet I'd be ****ing pissed lol and yea I need to have a child in my life time.
