Frozen

I'm not sure which genre this falls under so I put it here...

What are your thoughts on the lady who has been allowed to store her late husband's sperm for longer than usual?
I can see both sides of the reasoning, why the woman would want to have a baby by the man she loved... but, how will it affect her future relationships and any children it produces?
How are they going to feel knowing their father died a long while before they were born?

Would you do it?

Re: Frozen

I think it's marvellous the way we can do these things these days my only worry is does this allow a relatively young woman move on with her life ? She could meet and marry another man and this could stop that happening.

Re: Frozen

I don't see why it would interfere with a future relationship.
I am all for her wish, see no problem for future offspring either .....

Re: Frozen

Well perhaps it's just me but if I was thinking of getting pregnant with one man I don't think I could move on to a happy relationship with another. And how would the other man feel if she went and had a baby with a past partner ?

Re: Frozen

Its her husband and he has passed on, so, its not unusual to bring a child into a future relationship, which could be years off.
A future partner should have absolute respect for this woman for the love she is obviously capable of ........

Re: Frozen

Just think bringing a child into a relationship is slightly different to choosing to get pregnant with a previous mans sperm. But as I said it may just be me with the problem.

Re: Frozen

You keep saying 'a previous mans sperm'
Husband makes a big difference to me as I see it ...... If they had chosen to have a child before he passed, what really is so different. Maybe its 'me' ..... Maybe its neither of us - maybe its 'them'
Hi Julie

Re: Frozen

Lol I was saying previous man but yes it was her husband but I have funny feeling when it came down to it the next man or husband may find it hard to accept that is of course if she can get past this and actually want to find another husband. Which was my main first worry.

Hi Patsy !

Re: Frozen

What a decision, to have a child who would never meet its' father!
I sincerely hope she doesn't go ahead with treatment.
It's hard enough for a woman to cope when she is widowed with a young family and can be quite devastating.

A friend who was widowed young, said no one explained. She expected grief to be about crying and sadness, not tiredness and loss of self-confidence.

There are hundreds of women bringing up a child on their own but not through choice for the majority. I believe she is being selfish.

Re: Frozen

She is grieving for her husband thats all she may come to realise that it would be better to move on and not have a child,its a lot to do for her.She is getting comfort from the idea and she needs that.
