Parents Denied Right to Dead Son's Sperm, from Law.com:
More than a decade after a fatally ill man deposited his sperm at a tissue bank, a New York appeals court has rebuffed the plea of his parents to use the sperm for conception of a grandchild, clearing the way for the destruction of the sample.
The panel held that Mark Speranza's parents' proposal to use their dead son's semen to artificially impregnate a surrogate would "fundamentally violate" state health regulations, which require sperm donors to be screened before their specimens are donated to the public.
