Victory in dead Israeli sperm row
The lawyer of an Israeli couple who won the right to use their dead son's sperm to inseminate a woman he never met says the case is a boost for family rights.
Irit Rosenblum told the BBC the landmark ruling meant family lines could continue even without the written consent of the male prior to death.
The dead man, soldier Keivin Cohen, was killed in the Gaza Strip in 2002.
A court ruled in favour of his parents who had the sperm extracted after his death, although he had not left a will.
"The drama is international, that mankind is able to continue after [a man's] death and his family can raise a new generation while he is no longer here," Ms Rosenblum said.

Not looking to make a point, just exploring possibilities.
