In Israel, a growing number of families of fallen soldiers are opting for posthumous sperm retrieval to allow their widows to conceive, citing it as a way to preserve the legacy of those who died in service. Legal provisions in the country enable families and spouses to request sperm extraction within hours of a soldier’s death.
Meanwhile in China, a man has reportedly kept his deceased wife’s body frozen in a household freezer, believing that advances in future medical science or cryonics may make it possible to revive her someday. The unusual case has sparked debate across social media and raised concerns among authorities regarding safety and legality.
