Post Mortem Conception
Life after Death
It is common experience that significant number of human at some stage in their life they either hear about, become aware of or knew someone or some family that shared the scourge and tragic experience of newly married son or relative all of the sudden diagnosed with terminal illness. Illness that in matter of weeks starts a chain of metastasis ravaging the new husband immune system and turns the lives of the newly married and their family into living hell. There are number of cancers and blood disorders that once diagnosed its literally impossible to treat or significantly arrest their progress to give the patient any meaningful remission to enjoy semblance of quality of life. The suffering is not of the patient but also that of the immediate family and close relatives and friends. The myth that needs to dispelled, is the often held belief that the terminal blood disorder, cancer, or disease started all of the sudden without warning. Like plants those diseases take time and often grow silent or with minimal disruption in daily living. Often a salient feature of such insidious diseases is subtle enlargement of lymph nodes in the neck, under the armpit and groin and a patient that had been feeling unwell for while. Such features are more often than not missed in routine medical check ups and visit to general practitioners.
What is often ignored and rarely thought about is that sperms in a male testis and spermatic cord survive up to 36 hours after that male officially declared dead. Most major hospitals in densely populated areas and cities do have fertility clinics. If the will of the newly married and now widowed wife (and possibly others) is to fall pregnant to the love of her life there is a real chance she can do so. The sperms from the testis of the deceased can be surgically harvested and cryogenically frozen. Thereafter it is a matter for the fertility clinic and the widowed wife to make the arrangement and attempt/s that leads to conception. If that conception is successful a widowed wife can have as many children from her departed husband as the circumstance allows. Bizarre as it may seem at first glance the cryogenically frozen sperms of the newly wed deceased husband can, at least in theory, as a donor fertilize and give hope to many women and childless couples.
More often than not it is the will of the newly married deceased to have children and the chances are that he would have discussed this with his wife. Off springs that carry his name and memory.
When we think about it the genetic material that we as human carry and that distinguish us as individuals, the RNA and DNA (ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid) are present in the nuclei of cell of all living species including plants and animals. Cutting edge research in cellular biology and genetics is now being undertaken in many laboratories around the globe. It is not beyond the realms of possibility, and more likely probabilities that species long extinct such as dinosaurs can be brought back to life. These advances raise very interesting highly controversial question both ethically and religiously that none of the major religions had addressed.
Could a parallel be drawn between resurrection after death and the promise of everlasting life for those of us worthy of good deeds and the perpetual giving of life by post puberty male, as in our case a newly married husband whose sperms were harvested within 36 hours after death? Certainly food for thought and reflection for the adherent religious believers non believers.
