Sperm fight!

The title might seem a bit misleading, but it was the first thing I thought of. And i find it funny. Apparently a Georgia war widow was involved in a legal dispute over her husbands sperm. Some things you just can't make up.

The widow of a Georgia-based soldier killed in Iraq said on Monday that her mother-in-law has agreed not to stand in the way of her efforts to be artificially inseminated with her husband's sperm so she can have his baby.

Before he died March 31 of wounds suffered when an explosive detonated near his vehicle in Baghdad, Army Sgt. Dayne Darren Dhanoolal had talked often with his wife about having children.

Dhanoolal had signed a military form designating his mother as the person to handle disposition of his remains if he died while serving. After his death, however, a probate judge appointed his wife as temporary administrator of his estate. The wife maintained that gives her control of her husband's remains. He did not have a will.

A federal judge in Columbus granted a request Friday by the widow for a temporary restraining order preventing the military from embalming the soldier's body until after samples of his sperm were extracted from his body.

The samples were taken later that day and are in the custody of a medical representative for the widow.

The widow said Monday that there is no dispute anymore and her mother-in-law has acknowledged the couple's wishes regarding children.

Yep. Sucking sperm out of a dead dude. Maybe I'm the only one that finds that kind of strange. I didn't even think that sperm would last that long. I just hope that when i die, no one bothers to fight over my sperm and realizes that it is a wonderful to share. Share with anyone. Even random strangers. Preferably wiped on their backs or tousled into their hair.
