WEST POINT, N.Y. – A judge paved the way for parents of a 21-year-old West Point cadet, fatally injured in a skiing accident, to use his frozen sperm to produce a child.
The Supreme Court Justice, John Colangelo, said in a decision dated Thursday that Peter Zhu's parents had not yet decided whether to try to conceive with a surrogate mother. But he decided that it was their decision to take.
Zhu, of Concord, Calif., Died after a skiing accident in February at West Point. His parents received court permission to extract and freeze his sperm, but the judge waited until last week to decide whether or not he could try to reproduce himself.
Colangelo stated that he had found no restrictions in federal or federal laws. But he noted other obstacles, including the reluctance of some doctors to attend for ethical reasons.
