Apparently, they visited a fertility clinic before he left for Iraq. They wanted children, but she had fertility issues. He was killed in Iraq, and she was artificially inseminated with the semen that they were going to have a kid together with. -Thats the summary of it all. I can't imagine the heartache involved with losing a spouse in Iraq. I'm really sentimental to issues like this so I shed a tear reading this story. I'm happy for her, but at the same time I wonder if it's healthy. What an honor, though, to be the son of a fallen soldier, and bringing happiness to a widow. It's just really sad that this kid will grow up without a father. I know a lot of kids have to deal with this, but to throw a kid into this situation when it's unnecessary is what I'm unsure of. Thoughts? |

I guess my point is: why knowingly bring a child into the world without a father? I'm not saying Im against it. I'm asking if you all think it is moral
