In a landmark ruling, the Delhi High Court allowed a couple in their sixties to access their deceased son’s frozen sperm, setting a precedent for posthumous reproduction in India. The couple’s son, who passed away from cancer in 2020, had his sperm preserved before undergoing cancer treatment. The hospital holding the sperm sample refused to release it, citing the absence of guidelines for such a scenario where there was no surviving spouse. Seeking to continue their son’s legacy, the parents petitioned the court, which ultimately granted them permission to use the sperm for surrogacy. This ruling raises important legal, ethical, and social questions about the evolving concept of family and the rights surrounding posthumous reproduction.
