Eh...creepy. It´s not their call. If the son didnt manifest any desire to have a posthumous child, i think it´s not right.
Great thread!

Parents Fight To Use Dead Son?s Sperm To Create Posthumous Grandchild

What an awesome first post!
I think they shouldn't have the right, because of the impact it could have on the child. Being raised without you father, or having your father die early in your childhood is one thing, being raised as the son/daughter of a dead man is something very different. Also, it's creepy as shit.
I am kinda surprised noone has made the Darth Vader comparison yet:
"They never told you what happened to your father"
"They told me enough! They told me he died before i was conceived, and by your wish his sperm was extracted and used to conceive me!"
"No, i am your father"
"Seriously? That's the most ridiculous cover story i've ever heard."
"Well, it worked"

I understand how they're thinking.
Doesn't make it any less creepy, though. Not that "it's creepy" is any legitimate reason to stop them.

Fair point I guess, if its ok to take his organs to help others with the parents conscent then why not let the parents get some sort of peace from taking his organ (high fives) and creating a grandchild from it?
It doesnt say but Im guessing they only had 1 kid and he isnt around to provide them with the love parents get from a child so I guess by creating a grandkid from his dna and a random chick who could well have been his gf / wife then ultimately they are getting the next generation to dote on like all parents dream of from the day their kid is old enough to be a responsibile adult.
So I hope they get their wish. Im still alive and my mom is constantly suggesting I should "accidently" get a girl pregnant, but then again my mom is like the only amongst her brothers and sisters not a grandma yet =P

Creepy yes, questionable yes, something that this world can deny cause of it being unethical, no. for years people have been doing strange and some what weird as hell crap, but this is nothing new, they will do it, and then they will have a drama, and then it will either be on the news or on a reality tv show.
