NY woman planning to have dead lover's child


A New York judge has given a woman permission to harvest her dead lover's sperm so she can still have his baby. Can you believe this? Yes, the woman wants a child from a dead man's sperm.

Johnny Quintana was only 31 when he died Thursday of an apparent heart attack and had wanted to have a second child with his fiancee, Gisela Marrero. So, the woman wanted to keep his sperm. But, the only way to make it happen was to quickly collect his sperm, which stays fresh for only 36 hours after death.

Again there was a problem. A court order was needed because Quintana and Marrero were not yet married. So, the woman appealed before the court. The Bronx judge agreed on Friday with only four hours left until the deadline to collect the spermn. Marrero already has a 2-year-old son with Quintana.
