A judge in Iowa has approved a family’s idea to gather sperm from a man who is dying, so that his betrothed can have his baby.

The family asked for the ruling asfter the hospital refused their wishes. Daniel Christy was in a  motorcycle wreck on September 9th that left him on life support. he is listeed as an organ donor, but the hospital declined to support the family wishes in continuing his bloodline because by the hospital interpretation, sperm is not covered under the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act.

Judge Beckelman ruled that it does cover sperm.
