Sperm retrieval is a common infertility procedure for men with certain male infertility factors.
Today, this procedure is also used among the dead, to create life after death.
For some people, the thought of post-mortem sperm retrieval is essential and for some it's downright creepy.
Soldiers often freeze their sperm before heading into battle, and cancer patients do the same just prior to undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. Cryopreservation is generally done "just in case", but what happens when the man actually dies, and his sperm is still alive (well, frozen) and well?
This is the hot topic of debate sweeping the community of infertility specialists, lawyers and patients. Because this concept is so new to the world, many people don't know what to think.
