West Point cadet Peter Zhu died at age 21 in February in a tragic skiing accident. His parents now can attempt to continue his legacy and their family lineage after a New York judge said they can use his frozen sperm to produce a child.
New York Supreme Court Judge John Colangelo issued his ruling last week, two months after he granted Yongmin and Monica Zhu's request to save the sperm."Peter's parents are the proper parties to make decisions regarding the disposition of Peter's genetic material," Colangelo wrote."At this time, the Court will place no restrictions on the use to which Peter's parents may ultimately put their son's sperm, including its potential use for procreative purposes.
The Zhus spoke via teleconference at a court hearing in late March and spoke to their reasons for wanting"to preserve the possibility of the use of Peter's sperm in the future in order to posthumously realize his dream of having children and continuing the family line," according to court documents.
