The Israeli Knesset is thinking about a new law that could let parents or widowed women use the sperm of their deceased son or husband to have a child. This includes sperm collected after they've passed away. If this law is approved, parents could look for a woman who is willing to have a child using their late son's sperm. There's been a lot of negative reactions to this idea on social media. Critics say that children born this way could have problems because they would grow up without a father and might feel pressured to live up to their late father's memory. However, I don't think these arguments hold up. A child born in a Western country today is very lucky compared to many children throughout history who faced lots of difficulties and suffering. These children dealt with poverty, instability, and cruelty, all without the advantages of modern technology. If we only had children when we could give them a perfect life, we would be dismissing the entire human history. If we oppose having kids in hard times, perhaps we should question our place as the latest generation in a long line of generations that were willing to bring children into a world full of turmoil, war, and hunger. It's important to remember that children were even born in concentration camps, which shows how strong life can be.
