Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

OK, that's slightly less bad than the headline made it sound, but still
OMG I see what you mean 😐
What a headline lol
Yeah, I was concerned this was going a different way but I wouldn't have been surprised
SHE'S NOT EVEN GOING TO RAISE IT HERSELF???
It's a decent bit worse than how I read it because I assumed this was on behalf of a daughter-in-law, rather than hey ladies, would you be interested in my deceased son's semen? You look like the kind of woman who my son would have loved to posthumously impregnate. No, it's not what it sounds like at all - I already filled out all the paperwork to get the approval! All the legwork is already taken care of! All you need to do is conceive the child and raise it.
Not to give her advice but I think she'd have an easier time if she said she wanted an egg donor (so no inbreeding) but would carry the pregnancy herself. And obviously not wanting to raise the grandkid is insane.
The IDF conscripts women too, so maybe she could find a cadaver whose ovaries are still viable. Why should reproductive necromancy only benefit the patriarchy?
Yeah I wonder if you can harvest viable eggs from a corpse. I've been through egg retrieval myself and it's a pretty involved process; you have to inject yourself with hormones to stimulate follicle growth and align things with your cycle. Compared to getting sperm which afaik just involves jacking off into a cup.
seriously, that is 100% how I took it and was dying inside, because purposely high kinship linebreeding to "keep the lineage pure" I'm pretty sure went out of fashion a few millenia ago and I was getting the impression this person saw the antagonists of the X-Files episode "Home" as aspirational.
