55. Life after Death A 34-year-old married man who died recently had no children. When he died, his wife was not pregnant, either. But now that he s dead, he has a chance of becoming a father. How s that possible? After a man dies, his sperm remains alive for some time. In this case, the woman asked doctors to remove the sperm from her husband s body and store it in a sperm bank. Now, she can have the baby that she has wanted for a long time. She says it s as if her husband would come back to life again when the child is born. If that is so, wouldn t that make her husband her son?
